I Sympathize With These Teachers

and hope they prevail in the courts; it is wrong and illegal for administrators to penalize teachers for doing what is best for their students and for doing what the parents legally request.

I went through a similar thing with a rogue administrator who wanted me to put my students on alternate testing, which they did not qualify for, solely because he wanted the standardized test scores to look better. After a screaming match with this administrator for my refusing to carry out his illegal request, he backed down, but from then on engaged in what I believe was retaliation for it. The thing is, the district is still not aware of it.

Because the statute of limitations has passed to file a civil rights lawsuit, I am shit out of luck, but I think I have an ace up my sleeve that I can use eventually. The union and its attorneys, by the way, were aware of this administrator's actions, and they did NOT at any time advise me to take any legal action during which time I could have filed a lawsuit against the district and that administrator.

I lost my job in huge part because of this administrator's retaliatory tactics, and I'll be damned if I am going to help this district in any lawsuit of which it is a party.

Snip:

Teachers and parents plan to file separate
complaints with the Office of Civil Rights. The
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits
discrimination or retaliation against
individuals who advocate on behalf of persons
with disabilities (see addendum 2, below). “In
the next two weeks, PEN will assist parents and
teachers in taking appropriate legal action
against the Seattle School District and,
possibly, the OSPI,” stated Juanita Doyon.

I am not aware of any such group in Nevada and was not told of one.
