The Newport News School Board approved a separation agreement and severance with Superintendent Dr. George Parker III during a special meeting Wednesday night.

The board voted 5-1 to remove Parker, effective February 1. Board member Gary Hunter was the lone vote against removal.

The school board then voted 5-1 to appoint Dr. Michele Mitchell as interim superintendent.  Board member Rebecca Aman was the lone dissenter for this vote, as she wanted someone outside the school division appointed. Mitchell is executive director of student advancement for Newport News Public Schools.

Wednesday's votes come in the wake of a shooting at Richneck Elementary School on Jan. 6, where police said a 6-year-old shot his first-grade teacher, Abby Zwerner.
