Rickie Farah, a 4th grade teacher at Johnson Elementary, reached an agreement with the district’s school board following a controversial move last year by the board to discipline her.
– A Southlake teacher’s fight to clear her name is testing the limits of a school board’s power.
In doing so, it overruled both the school principal and district superintendent who had determined Farah did nothing wrong. Farah filed her own complaint alleging the board had violated state law in the way it handled the grievance against her, prompting the special meeting.“You see, she’s the best teacher my son ever had,” Kelsey Headrick told the board.
“The board of trustees acknowledges that under Education Code section 11. 202 B4 the campus principal is responsible for any discipline at the campus level,” stated Carroll ISD board president Erica Lannen.
