Alleged Last Minute Field Trip

When his team made its initial unplanned visit to the school, they were told the high school students would be leaving for a field trip. But students “indicated that they did not know about the trip,” Dunbar wrote, and “a few teachers said it was put together at the last minute. Team members suspect that it was done because of the review.”

There has been no sign or record of withholding or threatening to withhold a favorable action that could discourage an employee, student or a parent from speaking up, out of more than 100 employees, hundreds of students and parents. It is obvious that the claim of “general feeling of fear” was limited to three former teachers who were let go because of poor performance or other legitimate reasons.
