Middle Georgia journalists Leah Fleming and Charles Richardson serve up some Macon & Eggs each week. Here's what's being talked about this week:

Maconites and firefighters from around the state are honoring the life of Macon-Bibb Fire Lt. Randy Parker who died fighting a fire last week. Five other firefighters were injured after the floor of the home engulfed in flames collapsed. Services for Parker are Monday. Prayers for his family and the other five injured in the blaze continue to pour out as flags in Macon fly at half-staff at many businesses, all government buildings and fire houses.

In other news, former Bibb County Schools superintendent Romain Dallemand wants $10 million from the school system for what he maintains are violations of his severance agreement with the district.

In his filing with the American Arbitration Association, Dallemand contends that school board members “flagrantly and intentionally” breached his severance agreement and committed “acts of libel and slander” against him. Specifically, Dallemand cites paragraphs six and seven of the agreement, which state that board members had agreed to release Dallemand of “all claims, known or unknown,” and that they would “not make any statement of any kind ... that may reasonably be considered to disparage or impugn the other’s work and/or reputation.”

Meanwhile, the Bibb County School board unanimously voted to ratify Curtis Jones Jr. as the sole finalist in their superintendent search.

Jones, the superintendent in Griffin-Spalding County, interviewed with Bibb board members during a closed session Feb. 5 at a called school board meeting. The Griffin-Spalding superintendent worked his way up the ranks of the school district after spending 20 years in the Army. Jones was a finalist for Georgia’s Superintendent of the Year last year and also serves as president-elect of the Georgia School Superintendents Association.
