At its regular meeting on Tuesday night, the New Hanover County School Board of Education terminated its superintendent. The Board’s vote was unanimous, 5-0, without public discussion.
The decision to fire Foust reportedly came after a staff survey. The report includes over 150 comments, many of which accuse Foust of mismanagement and potential misconduct.
Under Foust’s leadership, the school staff described a climate of hostility and harassment. The New Hanover Beacon highlighted survey comments [ [link removed] ] from teachers in the district:  
“District leadership is a mess. Teachers feel no trust for anyone in Central Office. People that were respected quickly changed when Foust arrived.
Supposed mistakes never get corrected because the misinformation serves the district better. Refer to the districts Careers page and their claim that NHCS has the highest teacher supplement in NC. Retaliation is well known, so no one speaks out. Many people refused to complete this survey because they do not trust that it is anonymous.”
Another teacher responded:
"We were not a struggling district when Foust came and he implemented processes specifically designed for academically struggling schools that hamstringed and stifled educator autonomy and teachers being able to implement strategies based on the students in front of them."

The board previously extended Foust's contract in August 2023 to end on June 30, 2027. As per his contract [ [link removed] ]posted online by WECT, Foust’s annual salary of $225,000 will be paid to him for a year from his termination date.
Champion For DEI
During a meeting in February, Foust shocked parents with his controversial statement [ [link removed] ], claiming that the Constitution was not written for black people. Many parents saw Foust’s comments as an attack on the founding fathers and the nation’s establishment.
Foust’s rhetoric mirrors that of Hannah Nicole Jones, author of the 1919 Project. She claims that blacks were completely left out of the founding of the county. She and DEI promoters like her believe the country should be dismantled to restore true ‘equality.’
Foust has made it clear that he believes the public education system is also rigged against black students. In a 2021 Townhall, he said [ [link removed] ]:
“We (administrators) do a great job of isolating African American students, which then leads to suspension.”
Apparently, Foust took steps to enact his sense of equity in the district.
A leaked memo, rumored to be from Foust, instructed schools to abstain from suspending black students, regardless of their behavior.  
DEI Discipline Danger
Applying race standards to discipline policies began under Obama with his “Dear Colleague” [ [link removed] ] letter in 2014. The guidance demanded that districts apply ‘racial justice’ standards to end the ‘school -to prison-pipeline.’ Obama also used the weight of the Federal government to threaten school districts that expel high numbers of black students.
 Broward County, Florida’s school system led the country in putting this policy change into action. It served as a model for Obama’s directive. 
Praised by racial-justice and criminal-reform supporters nationwide, Broward’s efforts to reduce in-school arrests for drug, assault, and weapons charges were commendable.  This policy that prioritized social justice over safety allowed Nikolas Cruz, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter, to evade punishment in Broward County, despite years of criminal behavior in school.
To satisfy race-based discipline quotas, administrators chose to ignore countless red flags regarding his unstable and psychopathic personality.
After taking office, Trump promptly terminated the Obama-era policy.  Last year, Biden brought race-based discipline policies back into classrooms.
This year, NC House Republicans passed a bill [ [link removed] ] allowing principals to suspend dangerous students from school. Senate Republicans declined to vote on the bill. HB188 remains stuck in the Senate Rules Committee.
