It is official from a Houston news station.  Amber's principal is giving up her fight to get her job back.  :(  I work for the Fort Bend ISD as a teacher, and I can say I am upset with the way this situation was handled. 

I also work for FBISD. I had the pleasure of working with Mrs.Carpenter a few years ago at CBE. This new superintendent is losing a valuable employee. Good luck and God Bless you Mrs.Carpenter,you will be missed.

Sad very sad --- saddens me that the School Board didn't have sufficient strength/intelligence/morality to do the right thing. 

Although I'm sure Lisa and her very few friends will view this as a victory, it is the school and children that pay the price of the lack of common sense and fairness of those around both Tammy and Amber.

Certainly the Board could do the 'right' thing and extend reinstatement as Principal to Tammy.  They probably won't.  Tammy hopefully will be able to move on without the stupidity of this following behind her.  Further I'm hopeful that this example doesn't diminish the spirit of fellow teachers.

I wish Tammy the best (and Lisa etc the worse..)

I enjoy reading your posts.You are so articulate.

Sammy geez you're making blush!!! heh heh!

But really folks... get this -- this is way too good....

Lisa and company are moaning and groaning about two excellent members of the CBE staff (Amber and Tammy) .... "Throw them out blah blah blah"  (Good thing we're not in the old Wild West....Lisa would of found the old Oak Tree and a sturdy rope....).

Anyway they are b#tch**g about Tammy and Amber.  Tonight there was a show on TV called "Predator Raw" -- for those not familiar with it, they set up a sting operation of chatting on the internet pretending to be young boys and girls -- these guys show up with all kinds of fun 'toys', one showed up naked and they get busted by this show --- one of the guys on was a teacher.  The show host mentions that there have been multiple teachers.  They also had a religious leader busted.  One three day investigation, they had already busted 35 guys by the second day that were ready willing and able to mess around with young boys and girls.  Could easily have been Sugarland.  Perhaps someone should invite the show to do stings over by Lisa's house.

Sooooo Lisa.... question... as you blast away at excellent people there are all these others ready and willing to truly do wrong to your children -- amazing that your focus is totally askew.  Perhaps, you should focus on REAL issues confronting your children.  Isolating them in a bubble is not the answer.

I can only hope that both Tammy and Amber find a full and fulling future away from pin-headed busybodies.  Unfortunately when Lisa and friends drive away all the good teachers, hopefully they won't be left with those that haven't yet been exposed by "Predator Raw".

Well said....The good teachers need to get the heck out of dodge before the Salem Witch Hunters get in it for them.  Lisa....I bet you're hosting the next book burning at your beauty shop. 

(imho)  I would encourage those feeling as I do, to write an email to the Fort Bend School District board members asking them to extend an offer of Tammy's prior position/school indicating a hasty rush to judgement based on a number of factors.  Further if a reprimand is required, perhaps consider the use of what the military utilizes which is a 'non-permanent' letter in one's personnel file (aka Article-15).

Remind them of that the loss of a well-liked and dedicated person like Tammy is a loss to the District, CBE itself and most importantly, to the children of the school.  Do they really feel that a hasty and 'pressured' rush to judgement was really the correct action.  Would they have decided the same way had there been a calm and deliberate consideration of all facts ignoring the external fanfare caused by a very insignificant minority of parents.

Certainly the majority of the voting parents may elect to remind the board of their actions and/or lack of actions regarding this.  Further it is entirely possible that teaching staff themselves may reconsider careers within this district.  Losing qualified and good teachers to other school systems would be good for them, bad for Fort Bend.

Again the email addresses of the board are:
'superintendent@fortbend.k12.tx.us'; 'ssmelley@fortbend.k12.tx.us'; 'sbhuchar@fortbend.k12.tx.us'; 'lrickert@fortbend.k12.tx.us'; 'kbryant@fortbend.k12.tx.us'; 'cknox@fortbend.k12.tx.us'; 'lcaldwell@fortbend.k12.tx.us'; 'smagee@fortbend.k12.tx.us'

something to think about.....  other than that - I certainly wish both Tammy and Amber the best.  Hopefully the Board, nor the same insignificant parents, use some bogus excuse next year to cause Amber career issues and thus allow the loss of yet more good teaching staff.  just a thought....
