Did the school in Pitt County know about the suspensions? Did they find out what they were for? Paid suspensions can be for very small infractions. So, just because an employee was suspended, does not mean they would automatically be ineligible for rehire. Determining whether Williston mis-led Pitt boils down to knowing what the suspensions were for. Seems like Welmers would be more than happy to tell what the suspensions were for if, indeed the woman's infractions were as minor as cursing in the classroom. Why all the hiding?
