Why are FCPS teachers suing their former principal?

[Anonymous]

Charlton always put her students first. She calls it as it is, but never lost sight of why she does what she does in education.

The other one, not so much. Lemmon is mean spirited and I have experienced it first hand. Too bad I didn't step up sooner as I know of people who suffered at her hand. And, she is only looking out for number one.

Glad someone finally stood up to her.

+1 to that!

This is a matter of opinion, and not my personal experience.

Lemmon expected teachers to get married and have children during the summer. “She stood up in staff meetings and said, if you’re going to have a baby, don’t do it on my time.”

As I told a district office worker, I just want to see her dealt with accordingly. The students deserve better. No money could ever repay the damage she has done to me. I am just grateful that I was able to get my foot back in the door after a lost year. I'm still getting on my feet after unemployment (single mom here) but I'm now on my 18th year of teaching.

As a retired teacher, this really breaks my heart. I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Not only do the students deserve better, but the teachers deserve better. I hope that everything works out for you.

Wow! Lemmon sounds like a sadistic monster! My heart goes out to any staff, parent, or student who had to endure her cruelty.

Certainly don't know all the details, only what I read online, but makes me feel like I'm a pretty good administrator by comparison.

I can’t help but think that there are two sides to every story. All of the allegations in the complaint are just that - allegations. The administrator who is being sued will not speak up - probably because her counsel has told her not to. It is difficult to know everything that happened when you only hear one side of the story. And, we don’t know if all the allegations are true.

I'm a former employee of Bailey's. I am one of the 30-40 staff members that left that same year ML came to Bailey's. While reading my 31-page complaint, all I did was nod my head. Truth to all.

I absolute love Bailey's and the whole community but it got to a point that I was no longer happy. FCPS, shame on you for dismissing all the complaints filled against her prior to this lawsuit.

I am not sure your thought process, maybe you're a contrarian, maybe you are Marie Lemmon or one of her cronies. There are literally dozens of witness to this. Just google "Marie Lemmon". Its everywhere, its been going on for years.

If one is true, she should be fired!

I know none of these people involved. All I know is what I have read here. I also know that plaintiffs put forward their allegations and these are not always accurate. As I said, two sides to every story.

If that many left, that's a red flag right there.
