I wish I had the money to support you on this. But, maybe my not having it is to your advantage.

Lay out your entire case to these guys and see if they agree with your cause. If they do, they will really be a help.

You had to exhaust your options before going to them. And, they will, if they accept your cause, keep an eye on your progress after the case is settled.

Explain your financial and family situation, your struggle, and list your qualifications and accolades, and be sure to mention your association with and your duties in the union in Milwaukee. Explain how you feel your cause can be translated into better situations and less stress for teachers, better schools, and much better education for our children.

The mere fact that the ACLU agrees with your cause, may bring the school to their knees. Let's hope it works.

You should also mention that the administration threatened you with black balling if you decided to sue. Too bad you don't have a recording...

Right is right and sometimes the devil is your best advocate.

Let me know what they say.

The only suggestion I have is for you to contact Mike Chappell in HR to see if he can answer your question regarding an appeal process.

I have been asking and cannot get a response as to how I start an OFFICIAL APPEAL. I did write a letter (which you received) but nothing I signed officially asking for an appeal. Do you know where I can get this specific information?

Thanks,

The only response I got from the DPI contact was that you may want to appeal the decision. Or, are you already in the appeal process by the fact that you have gone directly to the DPI Licensure Dept?

Your principal and Mike Chappell in HR may know of another option for you. Keep me posted.

Jane,

After discussion with Algina Mitchell at the RALC and Deborah Seehorn, Business Education consultant here at DPI, it has been determined that the course of action planned for you by the RALC is appropriate.

The two courses you are being asked to take directly relate to Career and Technical Education. NC A & T State University offers both classes on-line. Additionally, the PRAXIS test, although not all related to the courses you teach now, is required for anyone seeking Business certification in North Carolina.

As a former Director for CTE I can tell you that to pay you from funds for CTE you must have certain licensure areas. Wake County is probably paying you from CTE funds and would be in violation of policy if you do not have the certification in Business. There are no waivers that would allow a variance in the Business certification. I also know that we do not know what the future might hold and at some point you might be asked
to teach one or two classes in another area of Business education—thus the need for you to hold the same certification as anyone else in that area.

Deborah Seehorn asked me to let you know she was in the same exact situation when she came to North Carolina. She did her requirements and suggested that if you have any questions, you might contact her at dseehorn@dpi.state.nc.us or 807-3871.

I appreciate your concern and feel free to contact me with any additional questions.

Jane,

Dr. Kathy Sullivan has asked me to review your licensure materials. I am in the process of doing that and wanted you to know that you should have a response soon!

I am consulting with Debroah Seehorn in Career/Technical Education here at DPI and with Algina Mitchell at the RALC. I will get back to you soon.
Thanks, Gayenell
