Principal’s Demotion by Fullerton District
Your story on ex-principal John Roseman’s legal action against the Fullerton School District (April 3) brought forth an enlightening comment from district Trustee Robert C. Fisler. I refer to the following excerpt, which I hope is not representative of the opinion of the board as a whole:
“We can’t have irresponsible principals. We can get away irresponsible teachers, but not principals, so we had to demote him.”
As one who is parent of three grown children educated in the schools of one of Orance County’s largest districts and who served in the district 7 years as an elementary school secretary and twice that long in the office of the assistant superintendent, personnel, I am tempted to paraphrase: We can get away with irresponsible school board trustees but not teachers or principals.
