    Worth watching from the start to get the full context.
    Basically... vote to approve a 30k pay rise for the superintendent. Teachers hadn't gotten a raise in 10 years!
    The target attached to the superintendent payrise was to improve student results!!

    Oh! The school said they weren't going to press charges.

    The more i read, the more totalitarian it gets. She got thrown in jail for the night too.
    On numerous occasions women who had spoken (legitimately through the chair) at prior meetings were asked to leave... whereas no men who raised similar points in the same manner were ever removed.
