Claim 1: “Hill was ousted just one month after”

DISPUTED

The claim states she was ousted 'just one month after' starting. However, the evidence from WBTV and other search results indicates she was terminated 'months after she was placed on administrative leave' and had been in the role long enough to be named '2027 Southwest Education Alliance Superintendent of the Year', contradicting the 'one month' timeline.
