some parents attended After her arrest, a school district board meeting was held and demanded that she be removed from her position.
“Are we rewarding her by letting her retire with pay? That’s our money. We’re asking her to resign without pay while the investigation continues, and we’re also asking her to resign,” said one parent. She said, “We don’t want a superintendent here at the school either.”
“I felt like that was unfair to the kids. We encourage things like not stealing, being honest, being honest, being really dedicated and loyal, those kinds of things. When I see leaders doing things like that, why do I tell my kids to do the right thing and I can do the wrong thing?” Asked Adam Toler is a parent of three who lives in the area.
