[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/siteassets/district/superintendent/MCPSEmploymentContract-McKnight-20220510.pdf Even if the Board breached the contract, the damages would only be 6-12 months (or rest of contract, whichever is less). That’s IF the Board lost on breach. But the facts here are worse for her - according to the Jackson Lewis report, she apparently lied or didn’t the Board about a pending OIG investigation, and probably was aware of backdating of the HR investigation report. So she could have spent a lot of money on a lawyer and got zero damages in the end and huge reputational damage from a public case. The Board really messed up or worse here.[/quote] She wasn't arguing contract provisions-- she was arguing discrimination. That's why the settlement was so high.[/quote] It sure seemed like some people were out to get her from day one. She had a strong case for discrimination.[/quote] Some people were absolutely out to get her, but they were members of the general public. We saw some of them on this board even. But the question isn't whether there were random people who wished a public figure would fail. The question is whether the majority Black and Hispanic board of education that controlled her McKnight's employment contract was out to get her. There's absolutely no evidence that was the case. If anything, they handed her the job on a silver platter even though she was less qualified then previous candidates. She was given the job in good faith, by people who seemed to want her to succeed. A discrimination case would mean showing that those very people wanted her to fail and set her up to fail, rather than what actually happened, which is that they finally held her accountable for lying to them.[/quote]
