  1. Well, it appears OCSD has it’s own Jussie Smollett! Congratulations on looking stupid! Don’t you worry, OCTA will save your job. Enjoy the paid administrative leave—hey it might even make your summer off even longer!

  2. The union will certainly make sure he gets ‘due process’. Hahaha. If he pleads guilty or is found guilty he should be fired immediately and even if not found guilty district should go after his teaching license anyways and get him away from kids this isn’t safe especially in these days. Where is the video of the event?? Heard it took over 10 minutes to call an official lock out at ohs after the original police call at 12:41 (according to the superintendent) and kids were still going in and out during it. Maybe the administration should be reviewed. Check the livestream from the football field, didn’t look like any urgency was in place to get the kids back in. Also heard there was a second lock out….how come that wasn’t addressed by the superintendent.
