Education. I Was Forced To Resign Following Allegations Of Pulling A Students Hair.
Location: Texas
I was a paraprofessional in Texas, in a small town of about 5,000. The student who presented the allegations is kin to someone on the school board, so I knew the issues would be harsh, but I never thought they would force me to resign.
This all started on Oct. 29th. My last class was the 44th-grade class that said the student was in, and after a meeting with his mom, during which I was not informed about what happened (needless to say, I did not pull that child's hair), I was asked to leave on suspension. The next day, I was given a formal letter of administrative leave while the investigation was ongoing. On Nov. 5th, I was asked to resign following the investigation's findings and witness statements. I was not given the results of the investigation, no information, just a piece of paper to sign my resignation. They refused to answer any questions, and there were no copies of anything. I have sent a formal letter requesting a copy of my entire personnel file, including the investigation that led to my forced resignation.
Should I follow up with an education lawyer to ensure I get the copies I want and that the results of the investigation are actually shared? I was poor to begin with because I get paid significantly less than teachers, who are already paid in seashells and dirt. I filed for unemployment.
