WCSD Gossip: Is It About Racism or Something Else?

Embattled WCSD superintendent Traci Davis was shocked and "flabbergasted" with the district shutting down operations today because Davis and her attorney are perceived as threats as Davis plans to return to work today.

It might be strictly office politics here on the part of acting superintendent Kristen McNeill, who obviously wants the big cheese job so she can be tossed out by the dysfunctional Board of Trustees three or four years hence and get HER million-dollar severance package.

In an interview with the Reno Gazette Journal Wednesday evening, Davis said, "this is a defamation of my character," after seeing the statement from the district.

“I was flabbergasted. This is a clear indication of racial issues in the school district," she said.

Davis continued: "This story is similar to the Central Park Five, and I am now the Washoe County School District One."

Naturally, the district denies it and accuses Davis of jockeying for position for a major settlement.  The district's insurance carrier is going to be coughing up a seven-figure settlement when this is all done, and Davis will never have to work again.

ETA:  By the way, Davis didn't show up.  McNeill has egg on her face.  This is like Al Capone's vault.
