Super Duper Meeting

At the close of the school year we had end of year administration meetings. On day one the head honcho, the big cheese, the super duper sought me out and ushered me into an empty classroom. As the door closed, I turned to face the superintendent and the yelling began..."This has got to stop...you should see my emails...many of them use the word bitch." I bit my tongue but wanted to say "have you met [the principal]?" Then she said quite angrily..." I am not losing my facility vote because of your situation." Ah, there it was. In a few days the school board was to vote to start the process for a building initiative, the Write Yellow, Write Now campaign. The superintendent did not want to meet with me because of my lawsuit, not because she had heard all the stories coming out of our school, not because she wanted information...the super met with me because she heard that a group of supporters were coming to the school board meeting and they might disrupt the meeting and jeopardize the facility vote.

BTW, how did that Write Yellow, Write Now thing turn out for you anyway????

And I get it...it was easier to fire an athletic director than admit your recently hired principal was an unethical, pathological liar. Still, would it hurt for the school district leadership to have done the right thing? So much for the FWCS code of ethics...only words on paper when leadership does not follow it.

Oh man! I am freaked out reading this stuff. Do others know about all of this unethical behavior? Did the media report on it?

I count at least 5 "downtown" personnel who were told by many school staff of this unethical behavior. Nothing was done until something so-bad-it-hit-the-paper happened. Great leadership.

WE need to get this out! And get the leadership to get out!
I am e-mailing all the newspapers and TV stations about this blog. Any one know of any one that might jump on this
