the superintendent was just getting ready to leave. i didn't have any choice but to include the parents' letters in your file. so, in light of how the parents feel, and the fact the students are doing so well with the substitute, i don't think i can put you back in the classroom just yet. i know, letty. but the incident with zach was frightening for the children. now if you'd come to me, explained what was going on. it's a very nice letter. but i have to go with what's best for the students. i need someone to work on budget projections. or, of course, you could take a sabbatical the rest of the year.
