[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IG investigation found he violated policies so what are they waiting for. The notion there is a legal basis to keep on the payroll strains credility[/quote]

The legal basis is that the first MCPS investigation cleared him. It’s a really messy HR problem, entirely of MCPS’s own making. [/quote]

That was my takeaway. The redundant investigations just seem like a fishing trip for alternate facts. Why does MCPS waste so much money on this nonsense.[/quote]

I hate that we have to keep having this conversation, but here are the facts.

1. The Washington Post did an investigation in which 30+ witnesses and victims said that they had been bullied, harassed, or had witnessed sexual harassment and bullying.

2. MCPS removed the perpetrator from his new role as a HS principal and hid him at Central Office.

3. The MCPS-hired law firm found that the district had failed to follow their own policies, had ignored victim testimony, and committed fraud by backdating his paperwork. As a result, an additional four administrators either left their positions or were placed on leave.

4. The state-led investigation found that the perpetrator had indeed perpetuated a culture of sexual harassment, bullying, and retaliation. They also uncovered multiple additional witnesseses and victims.

5. We are now waiting on a second state-led investigation into how MCPS messed this up so badly, as a result of which we can expect multiple additional resignations and firings.

So, yes, he was cleared in one investigation but that investigation was later found to be not just sloppy, but outright fraudulent. That's not exculpatory - it actually looks worse! [/quote]

Seems like a lot of time and money to spend on an investigation into a married woman who willingly sexted him pictures of herself in the bath tub? How many investigations does it take to figure out that the two of them were into each other? [/quote]

How many times are you going to try to slut-shame your way out of allegations against you made by dozens of people, Joel?[/quote]
