Sep 2, 2009 12:55 PM
From The Columbus Dispatch: A wide range of misconduct allegations -- some serious -- cost 66 employees of the Columbus (Ohio) school district their jobs last year,
either through
resignations or firings, according to a district report. The report
offered a glimpse into the disciplinary issues Ohio's largest school
district faces each year. The 66 employees who lost jobs represent 0.7
percent of the
district's roughly 10,000 employees. Another 56 employees received
suspensions without pay. Out of 467
investigations -- ranging from taking too many sick days to abusing or
improperly touching students -- 100 workers were cleared of misconduct
allegations without a hearing, another 32 were cleared after a hearing,
211 received "written action," and two were counseled.
