00:00:01.340 - 00:00:22.420

Yeah. Yeah. A normal skirt length for me I think, would you say that the hemline has not been altered in any way since the day it came into question? Cross my heart has not been altered at all? This address has actually been entered into evidence, hasn't

00:00:22.420 - 00:00:37.230

it? Yes, it has. What was said about it at that time? Well, it actually hasn't got any evidence that will go in this afternoon. I think the it was viewed by some of the witnesses or the hearing judge prior to this time. Yes, it was viewed.

00:00:37.240 - 00:00:52.950

I wore it one day to the hearing and demonstrated then that this was the skirt that I wore. The controversial many and no one recognized it as being such. You don't feel it's a mini or modern or No, I don't. Mhm. How would you say the

00:00:52.950 - 00:01:09.630

hearing is gone? I'm very optimistic. Very much so. Yesterday in today's testimony. I think it's all on my behalf. If the charges were validated, what would you do then? Mhm. I would continue to fight further up I suppose because not only do I have to vindicate

00:01:09.630 - 00:01:23.940

myself, but I'm sure that justice has got to prevail if the charges are not validated and the school board rules that you may have a contract for next year, do you plan to go ahead and teach in Pacifica? Yes, I do. And now I've been asked

00:01:23.940 - 00:01:37.250

this before and it's pretty difficult question, but I do like many of the teachers at pacific and certainly the students, This brings another question to mind many of the teachers apparently have signed a petition opposing your stand or you're rehiring. Do you feel that you can

00:01:37.250 - 00:01:52.530

function there in that school, in that atmosphere? Well, this was a mistake, so to speak. Uh Many teachers signed thinking that it was something altogether different and I don't maintain to have the majority of the teachers behind me, but there's certainly a large number of us

00:01:52.530 - 00:02:14.080

who believe in education. If mrs McGlone is, charges are proven, the charges against our proven. Is this tantamount to non acceptance of a contract? No. What happens is this the hearing officer merely makes findings and recommendations to the governing board of the district? Mhm. The power

00:02:14.080 - 00:02:32.180

remains with the governing board uh to accept the recommendation of the district superintendent, uh not to rehire her for the next school year or uh to rehire her. They may very well, if they want in their discretion. Overruled the recommendations of the hearing officer, although usually

00:02:32.180 - 00:02:34.390

this is not the case.
