It seems to me that the goal of the school system is to educate our children using the best teachers and administrators that money can buy. EVERYthing else is secondary in my humble opinion.
Forrest Hills is one of the best schools we have and that is a result of strong leadership from the top down.
These people made a grave mistake in their private lives and are (and will be) paying for it dearly. I personally have serious issues with what they did BUT as far as I know, they were no "doing it" on the conference table in front of the whole school.
This thing hasn't affected the learning atmosphere unless the teachers are spilling the details to the kids. And if they are THEY should be fired - and if parents are telling their kids these details, THEY should be fired, too!
Those children still have the best leadership that money can buy. Forrest Hills is still one of the best elementary schools in the Shoals. That fact should be weighed heavily when it comes time to renew the contracts of these people. And I'm sure it will be weighed when is comes time to renew these contracts.
Comparing this thing to the Smith non-renewal is comparing apples to shoelaces. Completely different situations requiring different approaches.
