I've never understood the "paid leave" for people like this, let alone years of paid leave. We have a school dealing with a trash teacher right now, who's been put on probation and refuses to do what's required to get off probation. Who's been caught on video stealing school property. Nothing was done about it. Pulls the disabled vet card every time they get in trouble and when the writing hit the wall about their job, filed an ADA lawsuit against the district, and they are offering to put them on paid leave until the end of the year and buy out their contract and just not renew them next fall, so they will move on and become some other district's problem. Document and Fire. Stop passing the buck.

Short answer: Public Sector Unions. Public sector officials more interested in keeping their generous compensation and pension packages intact than taking a fiduciary interest in tax dollars extorted from we the people.

CWO4 Terrence Clark - Not if he is using the "Pulls the disabled vet card. " I am sure the schools and the courts would know if he was a disabled Vet.

BTW, I see a lot of accusations but not a lot of proof.

MSG Stan Hutchison SFC (Join to see) One of the few "silver linings" an private employer in an organized environment has is that IN MOST CASES, contractual language takes precedent over ADA, EEOC, etc. In those case where it does not or is ambiguous, those agencies normally want contractual provisions exhausted before they take up the case. It is more common than not to have a grievance languish for 12 - 18 months before an arbitrator hears the grievance. Then, IF ADA, EEOC, etc decides to take up the case, you're looking at another 12 - 18 months before they issue a right to sue letter (if they do). Then the civil process starts.

Undoubtedly there are exceptions out there, but every contract I dealt with or knew of (know of?) provided for disciplinary suspension w/o pay and suspensions pending investigations w/o pay. Both grievable, of course, and if the union prevailed, the grievant was/is made whole (back paid). If the employee was terminated and returned to work either through union/employer agreement or by arbitration, there is a standing labor precept that the terminated employee has a DUTY to mitigate his financial posture. (i.e. find work) If the terminated employee is returned to work, any weeks he did not look for work, any pays he earned and any unemployment insurance paid are DEDUCTED from the pay the employer would have provided him but for the incident.

Public sector employers could observe the same NLRB environment but do not because Public Sector Unions are shot callers at election time. Thus the backscratching orgasm we tax payers are forced to fund.

MSG Stan Hutchison - the teacher is receiving a VA pension for a service connected disability but that isn't an excuse to not do your job. The school has spent over $15,000 to make "reasonable" accommodations, which has never been an issue until just recently. The teacher has been caught having students over to their house, stealing school property, in their four years has never completed a curriculum, and was put on a professional development program which they refused to complete. The ADA lawsuit came up after the teacher found out the district was going to can them. The district has a rock solid case but has decided to put this teacher on admin leave, buy out the remainder of their contract, and kick the can into someone else's yard.

Could not access the article. After reading other sources, I see the right is raising the old CRT boogeyman again.

I fervently wish it were as you describe.
The Disgraced Teacher Who Took The Name Of An Egyptian God And Radicalized A School District | The Daily Wire https://tiny.iavian.net/1mss2

Better? BTW, if I understand the left's rules, "boogeyman" is a a deeply racist and culturally inappropriate derogatory slur against the Bugis people. "The Bugis people, also known as Buginese, are an ethnicity—the most numerous of the three major linguistic and ethnic groups of South Sulawesi, in the south-western province of Sulawesi, third-largest island of Indonesia".
