The Next Phase II

IDU, I like the advice to handle this cautiously and with the advice of a lawyer.

Frankly, I really question if you should get involved in this issue. Either the employer is going to get the facts and take leadership, or not...I don't see why you need to be part of it by airing your family's dirty laundry on the record. I see that you're trying to do the right thing by the teacher, but you have your own worries and stuff to address. You need to focus all your energy into taking care of you and the kids. Some school politics are really screwed up and getting involved can mean taking sides and getting involved in the whole ripple effect. Perhaps I have missed some crucial elements in my reading, but this is not the time for you to rescue a situation that was not of your causing.
