Raw video: Newberg school board votes to fire superintendent during meeting

A bitterly divided Newberg school board, which has been enveloped in controversy for the past few months over its decision to pass a policy limiting the kinds of images or signs school employees can display on campus, voted to fire Superintendent Joe Morelock near the conclusion of a late-night board meeting Tuesday.

The vote came after a charged conversation in which three board members strongly objected to the resolution to fire Morelock.

The resolution outlining the no-cause firing was not included in the board packet for Tuesday's meeting. The board's four conservative members, David Brown, Brian Shannon, Renee Powell and Trevor DeHart, voted at the start of Tuesday's board meeting to add the resolution to the agenda.

At the end of the meeting, the resolution to fire Morelock passed, 4-3, with Brown, Shannon, Powell and DeHart voting in favor. After voicing strong objection to the move, the board's other three members, Rebecca Piros, Brandy Penner and Ines Peña, voted against.
