Scary January

OK, so my principal didn't like me. Unfortunately, I did not see this train coming until it was upon me. She made her intentions clear in January. I came in one Monday morning - January 23 - to find my desk a mess, papers strewn about and drawers open. Someone had been in my office and since only a select few had a key, I was sure of the rat. I immediately called the deputy superintendent and said my principal was trying to fire me. He said he would look into it and get back to me.



A couple of days later he called - yes, there was a file on me in HR - going back to September and he expressed surprise that HR had not spoken to me yet. He said it was time they did and said he would set it up. I will never forget his words, " it's that stuff all you AD's get in trouble about, nothing to worry about". Untruer words were never spoken.


The next week, someone entered my office again and took a school laptop, We used it to take stats for football and score gymnastics meets. Workers scored the last two meets by hand. The next fall, the laptop would "appear" again. A couple of weeks later I would catch my principal in my office - confirming my suspicions.

My principal and I had a meeting set up with HR personnel in early February. See the HR meeting...
