Hello, It is very important that you understand this. Because Paula received a zero rating. Even if the board pacifies us and says she stays and the superintendent stays, and she receives another unsatisfactory rating, she can be dismissed! Tax payers and citizens of the Palmerton School District. We are not stupid and we can read between the lines. This is why the superintendent’s contract cannot be renewed. You must press the School Board now! Read the code http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/022/chapter19/s19.2.html Line 13 below 13. For professional employees, two consecutive overall unsatisfactory ratings, which include observations, and are not less than four months apart, shall be considered grounds for dismissal.
