More Washoe County School District Gossip

The hits just keep coming in about embattled superintendent Traci Davis.  According to this article, the list of accusations against her include violating confidentiality regarding a lawsuit against WCSD.  This is certainly a firing offense not even top-level administrators can withstand.  Think back to the Kara White case of a few years ago where she was accused of misappropriating small amounts of money AFTER she had already been reprimanded previously for similar misconduct.  She was fired, and she tried to fight the termination, but she lost before the Nevada Supreme Court.

The district has so much wrong with it.  It has been dysfunctional for DECADES thanks to still operating under the "good ol' boy" network.

Snip:

And while much of the letter redacts the names of those involved, she is accused of mishandling information and possibly aiding in wrongdoing with her Chief of Staff David Lasic and the Chief of Student Services Byron Green.

Last week, the district said both were no longer employees. Other documents show that Green and Lasic may have been feeding fired employee Jenny Ricci Hunt information and helping her in a lawsuit against the district.

The documents include text messages that show a close relationship with Hunt, who was principal of Hunsberger Elementary in south Reno before being promoted to a top post overseeing special education programs in 2015. She was fired from that job on Oct. 23, 2017. She is currently listed as the head of charter school Mariposa Academy in Reno.

Davis will likely get the axe. Another lifer of the district, or at least a long-term employee of the district, Dr. Kristen McNeill, who is deputy superintendent, is the "acting superintendent" while the district contemplates what to do with Davis.

I suspect a resignation and a huge settlement ala Pedro Martinez's $700k package is in the works.
