Dang. What is it with school districts in this area?? Bethlehem is going down the tubes as well. Our assistant to the superintendent quit in the middle of the school year and went to Kutztown (he is a sucky guy, so I'm glad he's gone, but still... it speaks volumes about our district to leave like that).
Why didn't the union rep know anything, or is he saying he didn't know anything?? Didn't the person from hubby's school report to the union person, or is that person trying to keep on the good side of the district?
I hate all the game playing that goes back and forth. I don't like the work situation I have at my school, but there's not much I can do about it, although I'm glad it's not so bad that there's legal issues. Gosh. I feel horrible for Grant.
The one principal I worked with really black balled the one teacher I had worked with. She was a 1/2 day kinderg. teacher, and wanted to be full time. The principal talked her into working in the standards office that had just been instituted back when NCLB was started. Well, this principal used her like her own personal gopher. It was horrible. Then when the teacher went to look for jobs in other districts, the principal talked so much crap about her, she couldn't get a job anywhere, and the principal was preventing her from getting any of the full time positions in other schools in our district. It wasn't until our principal retired, and about a year later, this teacher finally got a full time position in another school. It was horrible how she was abused and treated, but the union couldn't do anything either.
When administrators have power, and they don't want to take responsibility for what is going on, they will just pass it on to someone beneath them. It just sucks. Hopefully something will happen and Grant will get another job, and karma will bite this administrator in his butt.
