LISD teachers: Insubordinate to talk to school board?

That’s the word we hear. And, repeat, that’s the WORD we hear, not the rumor. Admittedly, the person involved didn’t say whether he/she had been told that directly, or heard from somebody (else) who (might) work for the district, but, we repeat, it’s the WORD we’ve heard.

Supposedly, it’s insubordinate enough to be grounds for dismissal for teachers to talk to board members about concerns about what’s happening at their schools.

Update, from a comment left via Blogger's comment system (which still lets people link to it, somehow:
It is just not the word, it is the Gospel truth. I thought it was against the law for school districts to allow bullying, especially from superintendents. What does administration or Dr. larry lewis have to hide? We have a new state of the art high school, with STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT MISSING FROM THE CLASSROOMS!!! Who cares if we can not talk to board members about schools.....I DO.

Sounds like this is coming from someone on the inside. Would that someone of you could find a way to step up to talking to school board members, or to going on the record with me.
