Partly in response to an Epsom school board member’s “My Turn” column (Sunday Monitor Forum, March 10), with which not all board members agree:
First, there is no excuse and there should be no tolerance for drugs and/or paraphernalia on school grounds, let alone inside the school building. One would logically think that an employee caught with drugs inside the school would be a criminal matter, not a personnel matter.
There are a lot of unanswered questions, such as:
Where did the needles end up?
Was she buying, selling, giving it away or what?
Why did it take a month and a half to go public?
Why was she allowed to resign?
Was there a deal cut and why?
Was all of this really done in the best long-term interest of the students?
