When I Say It Takes an Act of God

to remove a principal, I mean an act of God against the principal himself or herself, not an act of God or negligence to somebody else.

To deny a principal tenure, let alone get rid of a principal, implies a superintendent or chancellor has screwed up with the promotion process.

And we know they never do anything wrong.

From the article:

Officials had to ask Maldonado-Rivera to agree to be put on two years' probation, which he did yesterday.

In a scathing report released Wednesday, Maldonado-Rivera acknowledged that he authorized a beach field trip as a reward for fund-raising.

He said he was unaware of deadly riptides at Long Beach and didn't realize there would be no lifeguards there that day. His attorney declined to comment.

The investigation also found students went on at least one other water-related trip without proper permission forms.
