SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) - Caddo Parish schools Superintendent Gerald Dawkins may be out of a job come August after the school board voted 8-4 against renewing his contract.

During the board's regular meeting Tuesday, Dawkins declined to speak about the board's decision or what his plans are moving forward.

Dawkins came to Caddo in 2008 after the departure of Ollie Tyler, who took a job at the Louisiana Department of Education.

He still has a few months left with the district because his current contract does not expire until Aug. 11.

Board president Larry Ramsey said it is possible for the board to come back and offer Dawkins a different contract with other options.
