It is Easy to Fire an Educator!

It is Easy to Fire an Educator!


The board minutes simply state“resigned for personal reasons.”

Moreno Valley, CA. Its a shame and ethically undefendable that Assistant Superintendent of HR, Henry Voros does not afford the same standard of proof with a dozen or more employees (all of whom are at the top of the salary scale and suspended without pay and without cause or due process) as Dr. White endeavors toward Board Trustee Mike Rios in her statement. (see Below.) I could not agree more though I don't care for Rios as a person. "Due Process" as Board Trustee Harold "Rick" Sayre mentioned.


Then again, is his sad little way, Voros is as much driven by personality dysfunction as is Rios. Harold “Rick” Sayres is also driving this back door effort to break the employees contract and their collective will to dessent or question administration. Via the conceit of these two self serving individuals they reduce payroll.

Who said it’s hard to fire a teacher? Its easy: conjure up any reason, refuse to follow state education department regulations for disciplining educators, Ignore Education Code and State Labor law, and Government Code, then suspend without pay. Done! Effectively fired at the date of suspension!
Voros has seen the actuarial table that shows the number of educators that will just leave (or quit) far out ways the number who will fight. There by producing an immediate half-million dollar savings to the district's publically inflatted bottom line. Those educators who are willing to fight, sometimes to the appellate level usually win, which costs the district hugely in the short run. However, the district doesn't have to disclose documentation to the press or public regarding these cases because they 
can claim confidentiality of the former employee.

The board minutes simply “resigned for personal reasons.”

CTA seems powerless or unwilling to effectively put a stop this trend. Last year was the implementation year for MVUSD. SO FAR, this tactic appears to be working without substantial resistance.

A 14-year-old Moreno Valley girl and two boys managed to fight off a would-be kidnapper while walking near a middle school Tuesday evening. Police are looking for the driver of a 1990s Chevy Astro van who is believed to have tried to kidnap the girl as she was walking to Sunnymead Middle School at 6:15 p.m. The incident occurred near the intersection of Old Valley and Softwind drives northwest of the school. A 6-foot-tall, 180-pound black man wearing black clothing approached the girl and offered her moneyto get into the van, according to a news release from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. When she refused, the man stopped the van and ran after her. The girl and two juvenile boys managed to fight off the man and they ran to safety, the news release said. The girl later told her mother, who called police. Police are asking anyone with information to call the MVPD at 951-247-8700
