  4. It is a tragedy for sure, he was forced out and only got a measly 750K. Definitely sounds like oppression. I would like a job when I fail to lead I can walk out with a fat taxpayer payout. Poor guy.

  5. Sounds like Lees Summit parents need to make a decision - do they want "Equity in the Schools" and "Eminent Educators" leading them, or do the want Good Schools and an education for their children?
