I think the district (whatever) was unaware of her lifestyle. When they found out that she was a practicing and admitted adulterer, they withdrew the award.

The news releases indicate she was a widely known lesbian. It appears that many in the parish knew and decided to do nothing. Those who knew and did nothing let evil continue. I pray that they realize, in their conscience, the wrong they have done and make amends. Has the district removed her from her teaching position or have they just taken the award away? If they have only taken the award away, then they are supporting her lifestyle.
It's my opinion that the most charitible resolution to this complex issue is to acknowledge the good the woman has done, but politiely and firmly ask her to leave until she changes her ways. I would also ask the parish members to ask themselves why they let this happen in the first place.
