REAL story. The real story behind Foose’s retirement was that the entire county wanted her out. There was a pretty horrific mold situation happening that Foose ignored, and then didn’t inform parents or the school board about until after children and teachers became ill. Apparently it is still a problem in the school district, and Foose is held responsible and has done nothing to end the issue. From the Mold In Howard County Schools-Information for Parents page:

This has been an ongoing saga in the school district, one that Foose has mismanaged and has parents across the district outraged.
Parents are relieved and glad that Foose is out, and some even think the payout is worth it to get rid of her.
What happens now? For now there will be an interim superintendent until the school board can find a new one. He will be paid a full salary on top of the payout to Foose for not doing her job. That’s $1.6 million that could actually go for education or for remediating the apparent issues they are having in schools that are making children ill.
Why this matters? It matters everywhere across the United States because it shows just how out of control union contracts are, as well as contracts being signed with school boards and administrators. What exactly are the kids getting out of this? Absolutely nothing. What exactly are the taxpayers getting out of this? Absolutely nothing.
Foose clearly lost support of the community and the school board, and therefore should have been fired with a vote of no confidence. Since she couldn’t do her job, she shouldn’t be getting a payout. A payout that hurts the children because it’s waste money.
This is another example of why parents and taxpayers need to get involved in their local school boards. Many school boards are rogue and are in bed with the unions although they are supposed to follow what the parents and taxpayers want. Votes matter.
This is just one example of outrage in the government school system. There are many others. Look at your own school board and attend meetings to see it in action. And if you have a good school board, support them. They need it.
