I am glad people are so full of information and know when to state people are wrong or right. As previously stated...Its more of a conflict of interest between said super boss and principal. Wait and see...new superintendent new rules it isn't like it use to be..now Shane Alexander is forced to resign. |

Yes he resigned...he is forced to do so or be fired. Now he can slime his way into another position by cushioning his resignation excuse on his resume. There's not enough background checking when choosing someone who is supposed to set examples for our children. |

Tiger4 - That is not what 'personnel' means.
Witness- That's exactly what I'm talking about. Passing these tests are now the ONLY goal of school 'personnel'. It's how they are scrambling for job security. If I got and take the practive driving test on the dmv website over and over, I'm going to know the answers to all the questions when I go take my test. I'm not going to necessarily be a great driver or utilize the answers. I just have them memorized. |

He did not instruct anyone to give students answers! He wanted to copy questions to form a more extensive curriculem to advance the students in problem areas! |

I wish parents, and other interested adults, could freely, with permission, quietly and politely sit in on classes. Public web cams??? It would be nice to see what actually is taught, and how. But teachers' unions would never allow that, I bet. |

"Personnel" means it has to do with the job and it's none of your business. If my family member was suspected of not doing their job right, they would be on leave until their boss decided one way or the other. And it wouldn't be your business either. People have the right to privacy when under suspicion of not performing their duties. There is nothing being "hidden" from the public at this time. Let the system work. |

Oh ok, so he asked you directly to do that? Glad we cleared that up... But isn't it supposed to be confidential until investigation is over? |

npborngirl opens another facet of conversation. If he was telling the teachers to give answers to standardized testing, that's absolutely wrong. However, is standardized testing really that helpful to our students and teachers?
School employee's jobs are secure only based on these test scores. Teacher's now spend the entire year hammering in the information from the tests instead of teaching on a class by class basis, taking away all that would make them unique. These tests really hurt the education system as a whole I think, and I would bet anything that this "just give them the answers" mentality happens all over the country. The "no child left behind" probably had good intentions behind it, but it's just not working out. Kind of like communism. :) |

You guys are making this into more than it probably is by interchanging the word "personal" with "personnel". The story clearly says "personnel", as in another employee of the school. Probably what happened was someone filed an anonymous complaint (which is why there is only one person on paid leave) and they have to follow through on it with an investigation. If they didn't you'd be crying foul. |

i think its about "teaching to the tests" & instructing his teachers to give students answeres to standardised tests. Not as fun as booze for YOU ALL, but way more destructive to the education of our young |

They better look into more admin. if personal issues are reflecting jobs. Opinionated, it sounds like you have a personal opinion about Mr. Alexander. My guess is relation or friend of ex wife... Personal problems should not reflect his job and anyone who goes after someones job for those reasons needs to rethink the situation as though it isn't. Nobody likes everyone they come across but it doesnt mean we ruin their lives with slander and lies. |

KARMA...he has no morals and shouldn't be in the school system! A principal that was married and dating a students mother at the same time! Asked to resign from another school for inappropriate touching of students...how he got this position in the first place is amazing! No pay and no job...KARMA |

Witness, you seem to know quite a bit about the accusations being made about Mr. Alexander, why is that? And until its official about what happened I think everyone needs to stop the rumor mill that could cost his reputation. |

daddy, its not a personnel matter either,That would implicate other staff is involved, so there is no more accusations and rumors, he gave misdirections on a state test administered to the students. Whether he knew he was doing wrong or not, that is for the school admin to decide! Mr. Alexander has had controversy surrounding his past positions, so let's hope the board decides to let him go! |

Sensible, it's not a personal matter, it's a personnel matter. There is a big difference. And just because you pay taxes does NOT give you the right to know why a school administrator, teacher or any staff is being investigated. Does it give you the right to see a teacher's performance evaluation? I think not. The truth... You can't just not pay someone because there is something that needs investigating. I agree, if guilty, no pay, but give due process a chance. |

this has go to stop. even though he is innocent until proven guilty, he should not get preferential treatment that the people paying his wage would not receive. If he is guilty of whatever, then no pay and reprimand/terminate his employment. If he is innocent, then reinstate him in his position. However, if he is not performing his dailey duties, NO PAY/NO BENEFITS. |

What "personal" matter would require a leave (with pay) pending further investigation? If it was just personal the school wouldn't be involved. It must have something to do with his job performance. Of course, unless he is terminated we will never know the truth. And that sucks. IF a school official is being investigated we as parents and tax payers have a right to know why. |
