I do not know what else to do except contact you. I have been an educator in MS for 25 years and was recently non-renewed for reporting an administrator for the exploitation of a minor female. Due to the fact that he was a former coach and current friend to our superintendent, they urged me to let it go and they would handle it internally. When I refused, they moved me and two good friends/colleagues to other schools and recently succeeded in non-renewing me. I am a veteran teacher with no reprimands until this came up. Please contact me. In doing so, I believe that this will help other educators feel more empowered to speak out against such wrong-doing in our schools. PLEASE, I beg you. I was only 6 months from retirement and the retaliation has almost destroyed my will to continue the fight! Sincerely, Melissa Suddith MS Educator National Board Certified
