Guy was totally professional (if a little pompous) knew his stuff and really dug into something if he didn’t know the answer. Have a Meghans list Magazine someone tried to sell some years back.

WilsonStaff Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Pennsylvania has problems but not anymore than other states. What do you expect with the behavior that fosters this type of perv's to exist. They come up where sexual hazing is allowed. Then never to be spoken about again, or you will be warned or deleted. Those who participated or instigated that type of behavior go on to become instructors, band directors, board members and even corps directors.

BigW Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 On 6/16/2021 at 6:54 PM, MikeD said: In NJ, a recent law (couple of years ago) was passed so that when a staff person has applied to a district for a position, the former districts can and must share the reason for the person leaving, even if there was no charge and conviction. Before that, many times the first district just let the person resign, especially if parents of involved students did not want to subject their children to further stress by pursuing a court case. In those days, the first district was not permitted to discuss the reason for the resignation, otherwise the teacher could sue that district, as legally all they did was resign. I think most of us old timers know of lots of cases of teachers moving around various districts due to the old policies. That is thankfully no longer the rule. Interesting, Mike. The thing is, if it were a legit reason, how far does the district have to go in deliniating the reason? Is it as simple as "Big W didn't leave West Barndoor HS for ANYTHING to do with sexual misconduct", or does it have to be more specific- "We got a new Director that brought in his own people..." "Big W didn't like driving 50 miles one way to rehearsal..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Big W didn't like driving 50 miles one way to rehearsal..." No idea on that question. I would think they would tell the new prospective district of any "unsavory" issues with the person, but I don't know how specific they would be.

Don’t understand why the finger is pointed just at corps/band people. Day the school drum helper was arrested a 19 year old was arrested for the same thing in a neighboring county. Today a 51 year old in the same neighboring county arrested for same thing. Neither one works with schools that I saw. Just bugs me as goes against the security training I get year after year… if you stereotype that a problem is only coming from one direction you’re going to get bit in the butt from another direction edit: and according to Find An Inmate a distant (in law) relative is due to get out of prison (again) next month for…. Same…. ####…. Thing… Edited June 24, 2021 by JimF-LowBari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
