Superintendent Jim Powell:
I assume Ms. Wesley understands that this board has the power to recommend any number of disciplinary actions, up to and including termination.
Tom Endler:
[before Grace can say anything]
She does. And this board should be aware that in the event of such termination, which we would view as both wrongful and without cause, she reserves all rights of redress.
School Attorney:
I may have a solution. There might be a way around all of this unpleasantness that would satisfy all parties. A disciplinary notice in Ms. Wesley's file stating the school board's objections to her behavior, a response from Ms. Wesley confessing the inappropriateness of and apologizing for her actions, along with a pledge not to engage in similar discussion of Jesus in the future.
Tom Endler:
I'm confident that we can move forward on that basis.
Grace Wesley:
No.
Tom Endler:
Grace...
Grace Wesley:
I can't.
Tom Endler:
[she gets up and leaves]
I'd like to request a brief recess to have a word with my client. Excuse me.
