Bryan Dozier is a sitting member of the Montgomery County Board of Education. He also owns Food King grocery stores in Troy, Biscoe, Ellerbe, and Rockingham, NC.

Board Bypassed Licensed Black Administrator to Install Unlicensed White Administrator
On April 17, 2026, the MCS Board of Education voted 4-2 to install Wade Auman as interim superintendent. Auman does not hold a superintendent's license and required a special board resolution just to meet the minimum legal threshold. Dr. Jack Cagle, the district's Associate Superintendent for Administrative Services, holds a valid superintendent's license and has served MCS for years. He was not considered. The only two board members who voted No were the only two Black members on the board.
- ›Board meeting minutes obtained and verified
- ›NC GS § 115C-271 reviewed — confirms unlicensed appointment is null and void without State Board approval
- ›November 2024 special-called meeting minutes reviewed — confirms this is the second resolution for Auman
- ›State Board of Education approval still pending as of April 2026

Win Dozier Lawsuit Against Sherri Allgood — A Pattern of Legal Intimidation
In 2020, Win Dozier (brother of board member Bryan Dozier) filed a lawsuit against Sherri Allgood over a social media post about the Montgomery County Welcome Center. The case was dismissed in 2023 — two years after filing — without Ms. Allgood ever apologizing. We are investigating whether this lawsuit was part of a coordinated pattern of using legal action to silence community voices, and whether any public funds or resources were connected to the Welcome Center matter.
- ›State court case records obtained
- ›Federal court remand ruling reviewed (case closed June 2022)
- ›Public records request pending for Welcome Center financial records
