Last school year a Gallup High teacher and his educational
assistant hold a female student after class for talking
nasty. The kid gets mad, claims the teacher touched her
breast. Didn't happen, said the teacher. Didn't happen,
said the EA. Central office refused to investigate,
called the cops instead. After a full year of admin
leave, the case comes to trial and the teacher wins. But
uh oh, his job was given to a new hire. He gets another
in mid school, but loses his ability to sell his prep, a
$10K hit in pay. Too bad, says centoff.
Question one: shouldn't centoff have investigated the
original charge?
Question two: did centoff HAVE to call the cops?
Question three: should centoff kept his job open until he
was proven guilty or innocent?
Question four: should centoff cough up the lost $10K?
THAT'S GALLUP!!

Hi,
Sorry but I am not from NM & just had to ask. What is a Prep?
Thanks! Also, where I am an admin. you have a very short time in
which to report a accusation like this to the cops or risk being
prosecuted. Having said that, C/O should have conducted an
investigation to get facts!

Preparation period. To eceive national accreditation secondary
schools must offer one planning period. Really nice if you can get
it in conjunction with lunch!

OK, I know what a prep time is, but what does it mean
to "sell"it?? I am an elem. teacher. We use specials like PE
or Art for "prep" time. Mainly I use Sunday afternoons!! Our
schedule for next term is going to include a couple of hours
of collaborative time each month!!!

Selling prep means you give up your prep period and teach an
extra class for extra pay. It's one reason middle/high school
teachers have a higher average salary than elementary teachers--
we don't have a prep to sell! Of course, with 6 classes to prep
for I'd hardly want a 7th!.
