LANSING, Mich. — Late Monday night the Grand Ledge School Board announced they've appointed David Chapin as the district's Interim Superintendent.
The board made the unanimous decision during a lengthy zoom meeting.
Chapin's appointment came after current Superintendent Dr. Brian Metcalf was put on paid administrative leave Friday.
This all stems from a Facebook post where Metcalf said if George Floyd was a law-abiding citizen he wouldn't have been killed by a police officer.
Metcalf defended the post before issuing an apology two days later. The board accepted that apology and said Metcalf would keep his job.
Chapin is a former East Lansing Public Schools Superintendent.
