She was good in both LCPS and FCPS. Where is she now?

It would cost more than that for LCPS to litigate whether there is sufficient grounds for termination with cause within the meaning of the contract, and if LCPS lost it might have to pay out additional amounts (e.g., pre-judgment interest) in addition to the contractual severance. Plus, the wrongful termination/breach of contract litigation might have given Ziegler an opportunity to present a whole lot of evidence that didn’t make it into the grand jury report and that would reflect very poorly on the board. It is unsurprising the board took the path of least resistance here.

I'm quoted PP, and you are raising good points. Just wanted to bring this up for people who were maybe wondering why they didn't fire sooner... the contract payout can be a consideration.

How many years left does he have on his contract?

She co-founded an education consulting firm focused on equity and SEL. The RWNJ of LCPS would seek to destroy her. I cannot see her taking an interim superintendent position with LCPS.

It would have run through June 2025.

How he’s got good savings because he’s basically unemployable now. It’s all googlable.

He wasn't doing anything the school board didn't want him doing. At the meeting where the father was arrested, it looked like they knew the identity of the speaker. One person sends over a note, while another sends a text message.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Someone was going to have to go down for it but given the situation (the offender could NOT be removed from public school until or unless convicted under Title IX and Ziegler could NOT comment on an open investigation of a minor AND the assault wrongfully got conflated with the transgender bathroom policy), I don’t think anyone in his position would have been able to thread that needle any better. It was so much more complex and delicate than the way it got presented by dishonest actors and it’s unfortunate because Ziegler was a good superintendent. People don’t seem to realize he is the only reason your kids got back in person in 2021. Williams was checked out and combative with the SB. Ziegler was appointed and in 3 weeks there was teacher vaccination pod, hybrid learning, and he ramped it up to all 4 days in person by spring.

Where are you getting this idea that he couldn’t acknowledge an active investigation?

DP. People have explained the privacy issues over and over again in the other thread. This thread is not the place to debate that again. Take it to the other thread.

Of course he is employable. He is an excellent superintendent.
