SCOTTSDALE - Sequoya Elementary School parents plan to show up at today's Scottsdale Parent Council meeting and tonight's school board meeting to show their support for Principal Maureen Booth.
The Scottsdale School Board last week started the process to fire Booth, saying she altered student test scores to get incentive money for teachers. They also say she falsified student enrollment counts during the 1998-99 and 1999-00 school years and failed to appropriately discipline an employee in 1999 who made inappropriate overtures to a fifth-grade student.

IT'S IN THE BREAKING NEWS SIDEBAR THANKS! |
Was this a curving adjustment that she has the ability to make? Because otherwise it would be chargeable under the penal code. Sounds like a bogus charge in some ways (or not, just applying some skepticism)
They also say she falsified student enrollment counts during the 1998-99 and 1999-00 school years
Falsified, or was there a typo or a vague portion? Again, falsifying these can be prosecuted by the feds if it affects the school lunch program, and by most probably the state (again, curious that she was just being fired...)
and failed to appropriately discipline an employee in 1999 who made inappropriate overtures to a fifth-grade student.
Doesn't say she failed to discipline, only failed to "appropriately" discipline. What was the alleged offense, the evidence, and the discipline?
Just thought I'd get that out there before mindless but well-meaning Freepers start taking the side of one government entity over that of a government employee, simply because it involves "those precious children".
