Oh, Dear G*D!!!!
The dean -- the one who created the problem I've had to deal with -- has a criminal record!!!
False reporting of a crime.
Welfare Fraud
Filing a false document to a public official.
Those were in May of '88
In November of '88,
Simple Assault/Battery
Both misdemeaners and felony involved. She had public defenders for the misdemeanors; a private attorney for the assault/battery charge.
She pleaded nolo contendere for all, had to pay fines, was on 5 years probation and had to pay restitution.
One of my colleagues told me this information earlier in the day. I went to the computer and researched the public records, and there it is.
Now, I had to be checked for a criminal record to work in a school with minor children. I would NOT be hired as a teacher if I had a felony. With a misdemeanor, it depends - could go either way. But, if there's someone with the same qualifications w/o a record, you can bet they get the job first. We are dealing with children here.
Indeed, it's been confirmed that she's having "sleep overs" with the golden girls.

That's totally innapropriate!!! Besides being completely stupid in this day and age!
And she takes care of the money in the school!!! She's been arrested for welfare fraud! This is crazy!!! :andy:
And I think I know now why the principal has had such a major change of heart concerning me.
She's been hiding in her office for a few weeks now....
I'm struggling with this one. Because I do believe that everyone has the right to turn their life around. But, she's in a job where she can be clearly tempted to return to what we know she's already done. And she has a strong influence on children -- and obviously, they have a strong influence on her. She doesn't know any boundaries.
We've had to cancel night school because there's not enough money to continue it this year. One of the reasons is because the golden girls are now with another teacher, who has to get paid for a sixth class -- as a direct result of dean's action -- allowing them to cut class and fail as a result. Yes, the Principal is responsible, but, everyone knows he was following her advice -- then. No longer. And she handles the money in the school. I've given her Jr Class funds to keep locked up without knowledge of this. I have no idea if it was safe or not. It was not counted when we gave her the funds...I just don't know, but, I'm not happy either.
And she was reponsible for trashing my reputation. Why? What is wrong with someone like this? I'm both sad and angry. And a bit disgusted, to be honest. I'm sorry, but, that's how I am feeling right now... :>(
Thanks for listening again...I'm seeing my career counselor today, thank goodness. He can help me work through this internal mess. Thoughts appreciated...
Shalom!
