L. SEPTEMBER 26, 2001

MAURA LARKINS' PAY WAS STOPPED; SHE REQUESTED A FULL
EVIDENTIARY HEARING TO WHICH SHE WAS ENTITLED BY THE
CONTRACT REGARDING HER SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY; THE
DISTRICT REFUSED.

Only after he placed her on suspension without pay did Mr. Werlin
offer to
allow other administrators to be present at a meeting with
Mrs. Larkins.  

Mrs. Larkins asked to meet with the Superintendent.  She was entitled to a full
evidentiary hearing.  The DISTRICT refused to give her the hearing, claiming
falsely that she was not suspended without pay.  (She was not allowed to set foot
at any school on September 26, and she wasn’t paid—she was clearly suspended
without pay.)

The district never made any determination as to whether the charges against Mrs.
Larkins were true.  

Two things are possible:

1) the District took a completely innocent person out of her classroom twice, and
destroyed her reputation, and never investigated or retracted the accusations.  

2) The other possibility is that the District took a potential mass murderer out of
her classroom twice—but then asked her to come back again and again without
ever investigating!  Either way, they failed grievously in their obligation as holder
of a public trust, and they violated Mrs. Larkins rights, and are not justified in
dismissing an employee whom they admit is highly qualified and has no mental or
physical problems.

Maura Larkins requested the full evidentiary hearing to
which she was entitled by the contract...The district
refused.

The
California Teachers Association and Chula Vista
Educators looked the other way.
