Dillenbeck: 15 ACPS employees have been placed on leave in last 30 days
Did anyone go to this townhall with ACPS Board member Jim Dillenbeck yesterday? I couldn't make it. But per the article:
I commend him for being the ONLY board member who has bothered to come down from Mount Olympus and grace us with his presence.
Summary from the article:
- 15 ACPS employees have been place on administrative leave. This includes the 3 principals at Monticello, Butler-Baker, and Woodbrook. Important note here is that this is the first time the phrase "administrative leave" has been used.
- ACPS spokesman previously said the three principals were "out of the building for an extended period of time" but that it was not related to the sexual abuse scandal. Dillenbeck said he thought that might not be the case, without giving further details.
- Christie Isaiah of Woodbrook Elementary has apparently not been told *why* she was placed on leave (WTF?). Dillenbeck thinks she should lawyer up (WTF x2).
- The other 12 employees include teachers, teaching assistants and bus drivers. No reason was given.
- Acting Superintendent for Strategic Planning Dr. Patrick McLaughlin is still on administrative leave, pending an investigation into sexual harassment
- Well this is concerning: Dillenbeck said, “I can tell you there’s a staff member at Burley (Middle School) right now who demonstrated some inappropriate behavior with the staff at Henley (Middle School) last year. He’s now at Burley.” (WTF x3)
