Prime Prep Academy has apparently fired it’s founder Deion Sanders. Sanders founded the charter school.

The announcement came in the form of a harsh in tone press release from the school’s superintendent Rachel King-Sanders.

“Effective immediately, Deion Sanders is no longer an employee or representative for Prime Prep Academy,” she wrote.

This follows allegations that Deion Sanders assaulted the school’s chief financial officer and his characterization of co-founder D.L. Wallace as a “snake.”

As the story developed over the past few days Deion took to Twitter to make his case:

The Person claiming assault is a fake administrator whom does absolutely nothing to help the school,kids or teachers reach our goals. Truth
