Once again, Springfield Public Schools makes the news not for doing great things for kids but because they can't follow simple HR procedures!  

Does the district have such deep pockets they are willing to write the check to this administrator that is certainly forthcoming?  

The school board and district leadership needs to step up and insure that employee rights are not violated or discussed in a public forum.  Had a teacher sent home a letter with grammatical errors or made comments about a student would they have been up for non-renewal?  The answer is NO, because the teacher union runs the district, sad but apparent as evidenced by this case.

As a taxpayer I hope the district gets their act together and gets back to the basic of running a business instead of reacting in a knee-jerk fashion to every whiny complaint from a teacher or parent who doesn't want change in their building.  

Focus more on educating our children including those on a 504 plan heaven forbid!
