[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And for every “promotion” to Gatehouse the county could be hiring 3 new teachers with the salary saved if the employee was let go instead of being “promoted”. [/quote]

Meh. I’m not so sure. It’s really difficult to fire someone if they haven’t done something like shown up to work completely wasted and stealing funds. He could’ve easily fought it and then the county would’ve paid out a lot more in legal fees. [/quote]

He barely showed up to work. Most of the time he was "working from home". Is that what a Principal should do?[/quote]

No. Of course not. What is your point and how is it related to the post you are replying to?[/quote]

You can read I assume? Someone said there are no reasons for him to be fired. I’m giving one. Usually not showing up for your job is a good reason.[/quote]

Are you really this dense? FCPS would have to show a pattern of him not showing up for work and the impact that had on operations. They would have to show that he was warned about it and given an opportunity to correct it. Do you know how difficult that is to do when your supervisor (the region asst supt) doesn’t even work in the same location? I’m not saying that this behavior is acceptable. What I’m saying is that it’s really difficult for an employer to fire someone for this reason. The same holds true for teachers. Unless they’re doing g something so publicly egregious, it’s really, really difficult to fire someone who is sub-par. Not impossible. Just difficult. [/quote]
