Documents leave Awwad questions lingering

Yousef Awwad, formerly head of Portland Public Schools business operations and a two-time interim superintendent, is locked in a legal battle with the district.

Both the school district and its former interim chief appear to be arming for legal battle in the aftermath of the release of nearly 2,000 pages of documents.

Yousef Awwad, who was Portland Public Schools' interim superintendent for two periods during the last two years and fired Nov. 9, says he did nothing wrong and is the victim of a personal vendetta by Julia Brim-Edwards, the school board chair.
