What is the name of your state? CO
Last year (I feel) my wife was wrongfully terminated from her job at the local school district, you guys have given me great advice on other subject matters in the past so I figured I would get you opinions on this.
She worked for the school for 4 years and was well liked by all the faculty and students. The old superintendent (Mr. A) retired and a temp one (Mr. B) was brought in to take over until a new one was hired. Mr. B was there for approximately 1 year, in that time he slashed salaries, changed policies, took away benefits (that my wife had for 4 years) and gave him self a raise to boot. In mid school year someone (I believe it was our old neighbors who we did not get along with who have since moved away) called child social services about one of our 3 daughters. The SS lady showed up at the school and interviewed my wife and daughter, we never heard anything else about the situation from anyone. The end of the school year comes, it's summer vacation for the students and staff, mid summer my wife gets a phone call from the school for a meeting, as she did every summer (assuming) to renew her contract. However, this time they said they were not renewing her contract because Mr. B said she had family problems and it affected her job. This was just shy by 2 or 3 months of her 5 years working there and she would have gotten her matching funds in her 401k plan. We then checked with the human resources department at the school to see if there was anything pertaining to her "job performance" in her file. There was nothing. I then told her to get a letter of termination stating the reason why her contract was not renewed, we got that. I then told her to call the SS lady to find out what the outcome of her investigation was, she not only told her on the phone but put it in writing for us that she found no evidence of any kind of "wrong doing" or "problems".
BTW, we live in a very small town (less than 1100 people) and rumors fly like crazy, everyone identifies you by the car you drive. Even if you keep to yourself and no one really knows anything about you, they will make something up and everyone who hears it will believe it. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but around here rumors seem to be a BIG part of the politics because the powers that be (like everyone here) will believe them.
Does anyone else think we have a case besides me? Any input would be great.
Thanks in advance.
