GALVESTON, Texas – Galveston ISD superintendent Jerry Gibson has parted ways with the district as of early Tuesday. His exit comes after he reportedly made a controversial comment about women at a groundbreaking event for Ball High School. Galveston ISD Board of Trustees discussed the matter beginning on Monday evening and subsequently throughout the night. They eventually reached a resignation agreement for Gibson, who was not present at the meeting. Audio recordings first published by the Galveston Daily News said Gibson called women 'worker bees' who 'needed a man to push through a bond to build a new school.
