State School Board Member Addresses FBI Raid

Sydney Martin was at the Athens school district's office after asking officials throughout the county about the FBI operation at the Athens City School Superintendent Trey Holladay's house.

Started 4 years ago.

New information -- tonight- waay 31 is working to learn more about an f-b-i operation at the athen city school superintendent trey holladay's house.

Waay 31's sydney martin is live at the school district's office tonight after asking officials throughout the county about the visit.

Dan, najahe- i reached out to every school board member here in athens today who either told me they had no comment on the f-b-i's visit to dr holladay's house, no information about it or directed me to the school board's attorney.

I also reached out to city council members who appoint the school board- they also refused to comment or told me they had no information.

Mayor ronnie marks here in athens also didn't want to comment on the f-bi's investigation.

Today, i talked to wayne reynolds- who is the area's state school board member- he also served as the athens city school superintendent for about 6 years.

He was able to tell me a little about the fbi showing up at holladay's house.

"apparently the fbi has a measure of proof that they got a court order.

I guess thats the thing i can't escape is that the fbi had a court order that authorized them to enter his home and do whatever they did."

Now the f-b-i won't say why agents went to dr holladay's home or how long they were there yesterday.

Athens police told us they were there- but are not a part of the investigation.

This afternoon- i reached out to the alabama state department of education by phone and email- and i'm working to learn if state superintendent eric mackey knows what's going on.

The next athens city school board meeting is scheduled for tomorrow night- no word if the fbi investigation will be discussed.
