JUSTICE:
a second teacher, Catlin Preston, finally fully exonerated after
Principal Garg's spurious charges. He has spent more than a year in the
rubber room. Do I need to remind anyone of the rarity of a decision like this? The chance of both teachers being cleared was 0.16%!!!... Anika Baxter Tam
Not much to say on my part --- Catlin has been in the rubber room for almost a year and a half. At this Saturday's MORE event Marilyn is scheduled to speak. If Catlin comes too, that will be one big celebration. Sorry I have other commitments that day but I look forward to reports. Let's see if there are press reports that are accurate.
Here's another parent post:
On Jan 31st [2016] vet tenured staff at #cpe1
wrote an open letter to our community about the inability of the
current principal had in engaging in conversation about the progressive
practices of our school. This shook the community as decisions were
being made counter to the democratic, child centered practices that have
given the school international acknowledgment. Now, 16 months later,
two of these teachers being removed, a petition signed by 3K people,
parent ban letters, media, complaints filed. Now we can say -- (1) both
our teachers had their charges dismissed, (2) the principal was removed
and (3) we get to rebuild! May the CPE1 legacy live on! #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike #parentvoice #teachervoice #savecpe1 #parentsingargout #standupforpublicschools #bringbackourteacher #saveprogressiveeducation
