To the editor:
I wouldn’t know Mrs. Fowler if she were standing in front of me — or Mr. Fowler for that matter.
What I do know is that the more Mehlville School District officials are publicly quoted, the worse they sound.
I could care less whether Mrs. Fowler needed to have a flexible work schedule or a rigid Monday-Friday schedule.
What I do care about are the kinds of things Mr. Ricker has to say. “But we do have standards in employee practices for classified individuals in that category across the district. When I say standards, it’s not a written standard …”
Well if it’s not written and not everyone knows it, then it’s not a standard.
I find it incomprehensible that administrators in a career field that spend so much of their time dealing with people find it so hard to do so.
