<p class="mol-para-with-font">Superintendent Tommy Wallis and Assistant Superintendent Georgia Sayers had called the meeting on May 23 to confront him about the affair allegations. The superintendent told Reeves about allegations from an employee that she was having an affair with Reeves.<br />
Reeves denied the allegations but Superintendent Wallis said he would be placed on administrative leave pending a district investigation.<br />
If the investigation showed Reeves was lying about the affair. On the other hand Reeves was also given the option to resign without any investigation, Wallis said.<br />
In the meeting, Reeves complied and resigned from his position as the high school principal.<br />
After Wallis and Sayers asked him to surrender his school keys, computer and phone: &#8220;He immediately stated he was resigning in lieu of the investigation,&#8221; Wallis wrote in his statement to police. &#8220;Mr. Reeves turned to his computer and typed his resignation letter.&#8221;<br />
He then walked outside to his pickup in the school’s parking lot.</p>
