Educators and DUI's: What about "Zero Tolerance"?

A teachers situation: Teacher Suspended After DUI Arrest

A Reidland (KY) High School teacher arrested last week on a drunken driving charge has been suspended by McCracken County school officials.

Terry VanMeter, 47, was suspended with pay after school officials learned of his arrest, said Superintendent Tim Heller.

Heller said the district's investigation of VanMeter should be completed soon, and he promised "heavy discipline."

A superintendent's situation: Fate of Alexandria school superintendent on the line at board meeting

The city school board voted to keep superintendent Rebecca L. Perry in her post Thursday night, nearly a week after she was arrested on drunken driving charges.

The 7-1 vote came after four days of debate among the board members behind closed doors. The only dissenting vote came from the board's vice chairman, who said Perry set a bad example for students.

I guess good superintendents are harder to find than good teachers.
