"The board agreed to give Birdwell a $150,000 severance and terminate her contract a year early." Who was on this board at the time? azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
@kurland23 That termination deal was unfortunate for sure. My bigger issue is that the entire Board, legal counsel and administration had overwhelming amounts of incriminating information about what she was doing and they enabled her at every step.
@kurland23 Pam Kirby. Barbara Perleberg. Kim Hartmann. Allyson Beckham. Sandy Kravetz. THEY ALL KNEW AND ALLOWED IT. FOR TWO YEARS.
@kurland23 I can continue. They allowed lives to be ruined. We lost so many good teachers during that time. Staff who tried to stand up for legal and ethical behavior were disciplined. She initiated lawsuits against community members for talking to the media.
@kurland23 She silenced the collective teacher and staff voice - something our district still hasn’t recovered from. She destroyed vital buildings with no regard for communities - all to line her own pockets.
@kurland23 The conflicts of interest that the Board knew of and turned a blind eye to were staggering. Same with the procurement code violations and abnormalities.
