Once again, it's all about the children....
A central NY school district has spent $1.2 M trying to fire two administrators and while the proceedings have dragged on for nearly two year, the reasons for the firings are still a secret.
Funny thing is the media, which always wants "open government" and routinely calls Bob Freeman for quotes on the subject, never digs too far when its a school district. Surely you could poke around and find the reason.
The elected board members are too scared to say anything because I am sure the district lawyers have 'em convinced to talk is a mortal and not a venial sin.
I am not picking on schools. We in municpal governments are just as secretive.

You are picking on schools. The money is not being spent to fire someone it is being spent to terminate a a legal binding contract...apparently without sufficient cause, or else with some really bad legal counsel.
4:14 is right. The district has no right to fire anyone. Only in the real world do employers have the right to do so. And the district also needs to be reminded that they represent the kids. Since when does our teacher's union have any kids in mind. Nope, screw the kids, and the parents. They had their chance to control their schools and they decided it wasn't important. Now, you reap the benefits.
You have mischaracterize it 1:08, it is not firing it is terminating a contract. They have no right to terminate the contract because they were too dumb to write a good one for themselves when they hired the secretly incompetents.
I'm sure the district wants to "terminate the contract" for no reason at all. $1.2 MILLION to do so? I'm soooo glad the system is looking out for the kids. You sound well versed in such legal justification for protecting teacher types. What subject do you teach? And what part of the Bahamas are you writing from?
I teach contract law
I teach it to myself
I'm writing from my summer home...that I live in year round.
But I agree with you...I hate teachers too.
If you teach this to yourself maybe you can learn something. Our education system is broken. It does not serve the students. I'm sure its a great place to practice contract law though.
It sure is broken. One big problem here is you can't have a bunch of rubes writing employment contracts or it costs us too much to get rid of the guy they hired and want to fire for a secret reason.
But you cannot just hire any chick from the INS into a school administrator job, thanks to rules set by our PattyPlate types and SUNY cartel. That means the advantage in negations might not be as one-sided as you want to think they are.
"Chick". Watch that War on Wimyn thing. Dannie will go bath salt on ya.
