Surprise! Lincoln Schools Superintendant resigns

Fred Williams surprised an entire school district by resigning Monday night as superintendent of the Lincoln Consolidated Schools.

The seven school board members unanimously approved Williams' resignation, and then a separation agreement and it was over.

Board President Kim Samuelson told the Ann Arbor News this was Williams' choice and he was not asked to resign.

Williams said he was headed home to Grand Ledge to spend more time with his family. Williams became head of Lincoln Schools on August 1, 2005 and his contract ran until June 30, 2010.

Lincoln School Disrtict bus with young uns onboard involved in crash

Luckily there are no injuries to report. 14 kindergartners and 3 adults escaped harm in what is sounding like a pretty wild accident.

From the A2 news:
"An Ypsilanti Township woman who declined to give her name said she was driving eastbound behind a Lincoln Consolidated Schools bus on Hitchingham Road east of Textile Road after noon. She said the bus swerved right to avoid an oncoming van.

The van scraped the left side of the bus, hit the rear wheel, and spun into the path of the Ypsilanti Township woman's car, she said. Her car was forced off the road and into a ditch, she said.

The impact knocked a tire off the bus, sending it across the road, through some brush and into a field."

Lincoln Superintendent Fred Williams:
"...they were terribly excited to tell me exactly what went on, and I mean they had details."
