Why are FCPS teachers suing their former principal?

[Anonymous]

I was on the fence about this but being a Bailey's parent, I wish they'd put her on admin leave while this gets settled.

There is an open yahoo group for members of Bailey's community so this case can be discussed. [e-mail]

Virginia employment lawyer here. If the plaintiffs' lawyer, Tom Spiggle, really did sue FCPS instead of FCSB, that's a truly amateur mistake that can get the case tossed prior to the merits. (I should know, I sued FCSB once...). You can't be a Virginia litigator without understanding that the School Board is the entity with the power to sue and be sued, FCPS is just a logo painted on some buildings. Hope he didn't mess this one up.

I've read the complaint and - whether the allegations are true or not - the whole thing reads like it was written by an amateur. Although I admire whoever they've got doing PR. They've orchestrated a great smear campagin.

Agreed. Often what happens in employment cases is that some hack drafts a complaint with a lot of salacious details and sends a draft to the defendants thinking it will lead them to settle before it's filed.

If the defendants don't settle, the plaintiff goes ahead and files the complaint in a huff to embarrass the defendants, but the hack never bothers to make sure it complies with the pleading requirements.

And then it comes back in the defendants' face, because either the complaint gets dismissed or people still think they are a bunch of idiots just looking for free publicity.

Often the defendants in employment discrimination cases try to malign and intimidate the plaintiffs in anyway possible.

^ clearly not a lawyer. Most cases go off on what the general public would probably consider technicalities.

This doesn't even make any sense.....do you get plaintiffs and defendants mixed up often? clearly an amateur mistake!

You're probably the dumb ass who actually filed the complaint and apparently paid filing fees with the wrong parties named. Maybe the plaintiffs will come after you if their case gets tossed.

For your next case....What is PLAINTIFF?

A person who brings an action ; the party who complains or sues in a personal action and is so named on the record.

Dont worry I can post the definition of Defendant if you need it, let me know.....Asshat!
