Sounds like a murky situation. If you don't leave, we'll fire you and that won't look good for you, will it? So best to quietly leave. Parents want to know.

Teacher left
OR
Was let go?
It's really a very simple question.

We have been very happy with Cooper, particularly the clear communication from the principal. If you have a concern, perhaps address it with her? She has always been clear with information in the past and I'm sure would answer your question.


I agree. We've been very happy with Cooper and find the principal, Arlene Randall, to be a straight-shooter and very open. I have no idea what OP is talking about; probably just an overly-dramatic troll.

My kids go to Cooper, and I have no idea what you are talking about. A long-term sub recently left due to needs of her family; that's quite different than being "quietly let go." I haven't heard of anything else that comes close to this, and we're pretty involved with the school.

OP, please clarify your point.

Is any "community" except DCUM/ OP concerned?

And even if the community was concerned, the school is legally required under most circumstances to keep her HR information confidential, including her reason for leaving. All the demanding in the world is going to get you the information you want, since the school is probably not allowed to release it and is not interested in having her sue them.

How do you know the teacher was let go as opposed to leaving of their own accord for whatever reason?

Could you say how you seem to know the teacher was let go, as opposed to simply leaving?

No. It was too quiet.
