jeeze, I wish I could get a 2.5 year paid vacation for screwing up at my job.


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


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


No he actually isn’t. When you are in charge, the buck stops with you. It was his responsibility to make sure that the assailant was sufficiently supervised at both schools and that both principals were made aware of this. If he doesn’t want to be help responsible, then he shouldn’t be in charge. That IS the job.

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.


There isn’t a privacy issue with confirming an ongoing investigation. He knowingly and intentionally misled the public. Maybe he got bad advice from the district's lawyer, but he should have known to seek better advice.

Okay. Then don't hire him. But you aren't in charge of others' hiring decisions.

And that isn’t all - he didn’t coordinate with either of the principals or the Sheriff!!

No, he really is not “an excellent superintendent.”

In fact, he was so bad, they had to take the extraordinary measure of firing him.

Your claim of his excellence is frankly absurd and irreconcilable with the established facts.

And yet they didn’t have enough to justify a termination for cause, so now Ziegler gets a year’s paid vacation. Ziegler was a scapegoat so no one would look too critically at the board.

They have more than enough to fire him for cause. He would sue and lose, but it would be costly and time consuming for them so this is easier.

It’s clearly his wife or his mom or something.

It wasn’t, though. That job fell to the principals of the schools. Moreover, it is the LCSO’s fault the boy was transferred rather than locked up. This never would have happened if the sheriff’s office wasn’t so incompetent.

The board was explicitly exonerated from responsibility by the report

No. Sorry, that isn’t how being in charge works, Scott.

Yes, very conveniently so. That’s why you get rid of Ziegler without cause, so he has an incentive not to publicly share the truth of your role in the matter.

Can’t wait to see what kind of dumpster fire the search for a new superintendent will be. No one of any quality will go anywhere near that MAGA trash heap.b for a while LCPS had promise, but now it’s circling the drain.

So now the board was in cahoots with the grand jury? Will you listen to yourself? You are insane.
