update on drunk-driving Borden principal

A case from about seven weeks ago...

The update? She thinks her suspension is too long! That takes gall...

Here's the latest in a story in the C-J from Ben-Zion Hershberg...

The lawyer for suspended Borden Junior-Senior High School principal Lisa Nale said Wednesday that he and his client believe the West Clark School Board’s proposal to extend Nale’s unpaid suspension that followed her drunken driving arrest in June is “excessive.”

Shirley Nale, Lisa Nale’s mother, said she believes her daughter has strong community support to return to Borden based on a rally Tuesday in the Borden Community Park. She estimated about 175 adult and student supporters of her daughter attended the rally, where her daughter apologized for the arrest....

“We feel there’s more than grounds for termination of a principal,” Schneider said. But “that was not the intention of the board to do that” if it can come to an agreement with Nale on terms for her continued employment, he said.
