I am not sure how that happened. Please know that when I received your email, I immediately emailed the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources, who was on vacation, but checked his email, responded to the question in this fashion.  No tenured teacher during my time at OPRFHS or in other places has chosen to shoulder the stigma of being fired. Mr. Edgecombe has been here for eight years. I trust this answers your question. If not, please contact me. From: Andrea Zelinski [mailto:sng3@springnet1.com] Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 1:36 PM To: Kalmerton, Gail Subject: Freedom of Information Act Request Please respond to this e-mail, sng3@springnet1.com. Thanks! Andrea Zelinski Small Newspaper Group 217-525-8207 Sng3@springnet1.com Press Room Capitol Building Springfield, IL 62706 Dear Superintendent, I am a newspaper reporter in Springfield working on a story on Illinois school district personnel practices. I ve contacted your office three times in the past 10 days by email and fax and have gone so far as to file a Freedom of Information Act request with your district. But I have not heard back from you. If you could email me back with an answer it will be most appreciated. In the rare instances when a school board votes to fire a tenured teacher, for cause, the most common choices are: for the teacher to resign, enter into a negotiated employment settlement agreement or appeal the case to a tenure hearing officer. But in theory, a tenured teacher could deliberately choose to shoulder the stigma of being fired by doing none of the above. Can you recall this actually happening in your school district during the past five years? Please email whether or not your district has experienced this scenario. I can be reached at: (217) 525-8201 or at sng@springnet1.com. My fax number is: (217) 525-8206.
