As I entered the administration building early on the morning of August 10, 1999, the long narrow hallway was empty. I could hear the click of my heels on the red tile floor as I walked along.

As I entered the administration building early on the morning of August 10, 1999, the long narrow hallway was empty. I could hear the click of my heels on the red tile floor as I walked along.

I had arrived around seven thirty that morning. As I was unlocking the outer door to my office, the security guard approached me and said something. As I recall it was basically, "I have a message for you from the superintendent." He then asked me to please remove all of my personal items from my office, give him my office keys, and leave the school district property immediately. Later that evening at my home, a district security guard hand-delivered a memo to me. It began by stating, "Effective immediately, you are suspended with pay, pending a determination by the Board of Trustees whether or not you should be given notice of termination for cause..." I did not need to read any further than the first line of the memo to know that my life was about to change. I cannot say I was surprised, but I did not expect the twists and turns of the journey I was about to begin.
