Talked to a friend of an Oakridge teacher today. She said——

- The principal was one of the last people to learn of the affair.
-There isn’t much she can do from a personnel perspective—it’s not against regulation to lack morals.
- The entire staff is aware of the affair and disgusted by it—-minus a few friends of the homeroom teacher.
-Neither party has shown any remorse; quite the opposite in fact.
-The fiancee was an APS employee and notified by Oakridge staff of the affair.

Per this thread:

1. The affair put a PE teacher in a classroom during instructional hours.
2. Students were exposed to inappropriate behavior from both parties.
3. There is discussion about whether the principal could have acted to stop the classroom visits.

These are adults in a private consensual relationship, but when it impacts my child’s education I have a problem. Under no circumstances should a gym teacher be in a classroom on a consistent basis to the point where students are picking up on it.

I 100% agree.

Oh, an affair between staff is the least of the worries at this school. It seems as if the principal if threatened by the AP and is running him out. The way he is treated by her is truly shocking.

Well, shocking for anyone else besides her.

I see the gym teacher every morning. Pretty sure he wears a ring and has kids—gross! And what grade is the homeroom teacher. upper or lower grade?😇

Agree with previous posters—-sounds like poor life choices not necessarily poor leadership in this case.

There is more than one male gym teacher. Based on earlier comments in this thread, I'm assuming it's not the one that is married with kids.

Noted! I didn’t believe it. This is a bad soap opera.

It is NOT the married PE teacher!!! as is stated several times, it was an engaged male PE teacher who does not wear a ring and an upper grade homeroom teacher. Only commenting to prevent a good person from being roped into/associated with this childish behavior.

I know the PE teacher and don’t believe this!

Was the coach the married one in this affair? And the KIDS knew? (Students)? How is that possible? I would say that’s a leadership issue if true, but color me skeptical that a bunch of 7 year olds can suss out an affair
