Given the school district offered no explanation for terminating their employment of Ms. Cooper-Dowda, how can you unashamedly declare, "She was fired because she is not a suitable teacher. Her dismissal is based on her job performance."

You don't know much about this case, do you?

Here you go, Einstein.

Rus Cooper-Dowda told CNSNews.com Wednesday morning that the Pinellas County School Board voted six-to-one to fire her Tuesday night, citing "job perforrmance" as the reason.

RGSpincich, you write, "You don't know much about this case, do you?", and then you cite a news reporter who by his own admission declares he did not review the official reason to learn why Ms. Cooper-Dowda was fired. He alleges it was she who told him the reason: 'job performance', he writes.

This is the anchor of truth - your vindication for the crud you chose to use to dirty this thread, RGSpincich??????

In the article you provided, Ms. Cooper-Dowda is quoted as saying, "....I was given less than a day to hand deliver a resignation for 'personal reasons' or be fired for 'not fitting in.'"

"She is a probationary employee and under Florida law all teachers are hired under a 97-day probationary contract as at-will employees and at any point during that 97-day period, the principal can make a recommendation to discontinue the probation," [Ron Stone, associate superintendent for human resources and public affairs for Pinellas County Schools]. "Essentially, that's what's happened here, and we don't have to have reasons for that."

The article closes by indicating the unknown official reason(s) for firing was so off the mark that the governor of the State of Death 'r Us directed a state agency to investigate the circumstances.

Not bad for the 'con' you wrote about initially, and would prefer we accept - over the con you are failing miserably to establish here. It's not a favorable image, unless of course you are in point of fact a horse's ass, RGSpincich.

Ps. Still waiting for your response to pollywog's Post # 13.
