Bacon should resign

As a report from the Kentucky Office of Education Accountability has verified, the chair of the Fayette County school board, Melissa Bacon, clearly does not understand the oath she was sworn to uphold. By involving herself in personnel matters at Dunbar High School, she has violated state law.

I believe Bacon should step down from her position immediately.
