Need help with employment issue
Hello ****, I'm here to help. Could you please provide more details on your employment issue? Also, could you tell me which country or state you are in, as employment laws vary?
These are documents about the circumstances surrounding my dismissal that were unjust and raise serious concerns about the school's practices. These are the following points: *. **Inadequate Handling of Student Falling Asleep:**    - Lack of communication from parent or principal regarding the student's medical evaluation.    - Vice principal's difficulty waking the student up acknowledged when she went back during the fire drill to wake up the student.    - Unjustified *-day suspension instead of a verbal warning. *. **Conspiracy and Discrimination:**    - Evidence of the principal conspiring with another staff member to replace me with another teacher.    - Discrimination against me as a female mother with special needs children, including inappropriate comment when I asked to leave early because my children had pneumonia and an infection told me “That’s why you don’t have kids”. *. **False Information during Termination Meeting:**    - Principal falsely claimed a student fight occurred on a Saturday November 18th heard on the recording I have, impacting my termination and leaving students alone and you can clearly hear him admit that physical education wasn’t their and that he didn’t communicate it.    - Lack of communication about the absence of the Gym teacher on the day of the incident which was prior to the fire drill incident. *. **Failure by Administration to Address Safety Concerns:**    - Reporting incidents, including a student wanting to harm and stab another with scissors, without adequate administrative support.    - Discrepancy in treatment compared to other teachers who reported similar incidents. • I even reported a violent and aggressive student to administrators and my residency program as well and didn’t get any help from the school even when a formal report was written to my residency program about the violent student.  *. **Lack of Support and Violation of Handbook Policies:**    - Absence of correction plan and orientation for a developing teacher.    - Unfair treatment, making the work environment unbearable. *. **Evidence of Unfair Treatment and Discrimination:**    - Discrimination based on race, family status, and other personal factors.    - Secret recording of termination meeting revealing unfair blame assignment and admission of my competence as a teacher.
