Teacher, accused of killing husband, on verge of being fired

Barring acquittal for murder, the career of one of Orange County Public Schools' longest-serving teachers comes to an end this week.

After 40 years in the classroom, Delores Laster remains in the county jail since her arrest last week on charges of killing her husband 21 years ago.

She has one personal-leave day left before job-abandonment and termination proceedings begin.

"It could happen as early as the next School Board meeting April 14," schools spokeswoman Shari Bobinski said Tuesday of firing Laster. "But we have to get all our ducks in a row."

The school district fired Laster once before but had to rehire her, according to personnel records released Tuesday.

That happened after her 1994 arrest in Altamonte Springs on a charge of strong-arm robbery.

Already a veteran teacher, Laster was caught shoplifting toys and cosmetics at a Kmart store and attacked a security guard who tried to apprehend her, police records show.

Behold the power of unions.  It takes committing murder to get a teacher fired. (granted, they still may fight for her)

That is just so damn close to being the truth that it ain't funny.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

If she got acquitted, then doesn't that mean the law found her not guilty? Firing her doesn't seem fair. OTOH, she'll never be an effective teacher again.

Quite the contrary...all she has to do is wave around her gatt and threaten to bust a cap in the ass of any little punk that gets out of hand in her class...

You assume she was effective to start with?

She only got arrested last week.  And she SHOULD have STAYED fired for her criminal involvement in the 1990's.
