Dye will continue to be paid until the end of the semester, at which time she is to leave the Parkway School District. "We're surprised, very surprised," said Parkway School District spokesperson Paul Tandy. "At the same time, we feel for her and her family. We do believe she has tried to move on with her life ... Unfortunately, even though it happened 15 years ago, video is still there." Dye was supported by parents and other educators at the time of her 2006 suspension, and students continued to defend her in 2011.
