db2, before you complain about something maybe you should read better. It read "...expulsion hearing is possible, depending on the outcome of the police investigation and court decision." I think this is reasonable. Besides, if they did nothing and someone was hurt, you and everyone else would be upset because nothing was done. They are responsible for all of the children in that school and have to do what they can to make sure they are safe.
I wonder if Williams will give back the money he used to remodel his office and if any of those employees being laid off will be from the positions he created. What ever happened to the money from the tax that was passed for safety services (police and fire)? Where is that money going since the police and fire departments haven't had an increase in budget since before the tax was passed? He said he would work for $28,000, but would he put his life on the line for that? I doubt it. The police took concessions last year when they gave up the hope of any promotions for the next 10 to 15 years. Isn't that enough? If he only wants to cut 10% then why, if they don't take concessions, is he cutting 27% of their work force?
