My title is not politically correct, but today's events brought it to mind. Arbitration is as long as the patience and tenacity of a cross examining lawyer. In today's case, that tenacious man was my lawyer. It's evident to me by watching him in action, he loves the circular path to truth, around and around and around and bingo-truth! I'm glad he's on my side. We did not finish at all. I did not even speak, but I listened intently. I think it was established in the mind of the arbitrator that the district did not call what they did to me discipline, but it was. Not only was it discipline but unfair discipline. We will see how it all plays out at a future date, but not too far away, I hope. I want this to be finished, but it has to play out to the rightful end, and I do not know, yet, what that end is.
Since the district side of this arbitration is paid for by your tax dollars, Osceola County, I hope you care about the outcome. I am paying for my side out of my pocket and their side with my tax dollars. I do so because I hope it will affect the instruction given to your students in this county in a positive manner, particularly if they are in high school. I will let you know when the next day is scheduled. If you see that I have not followed up with you after that date and have become totally quiet about this issue, it will only be because I have come to an agreement and cannot speak of it any more. Please don't let that issue go uncovered. You are paying the tab for this arbitration on the district's side. You should know what the district is doing with your dollars.
This is not my usual soft inspirational message because I feel this knowledge should be in your hands.
In my search, I'm not sure why this scripture stopped me. It was not what I intended to write here today, but here it is:
They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." He replied, "It is enough." Luke 22:38
Peace.
Love, Linda

Are those meetings opened to the public if one should want to attend?
I guess I missed a day of your writings...whatever did I do yesterday. Martha is correct, we need to plan to attend the next meeting..I think they are opened to the public.

I don't know. Stacy came as an observer, but I am not sure. There are extra chairs in the room! You could bring tomatoes and doves and let them lose as needed.
