A local superintendent accused of repeatedly using a racial slur in taped conversations resigned Friday.

Former Buford City Schools Superintendent Geye Hamby submitted his resignation to the school board. The board had placed Hamby on administrative leave earlier this week after the tapes surfaced as part of a lawsuit filed against Hamby and the school district.

Mary Ingram, a former teacher’s aide for the school system, claims she was fired due to racial discrimination and retaliation for political activism.
