Some of you want to know more about me and this work,
obstacles overcome, successes, etc. Thank you for your
interest; more here and here and here and here .

If you're trying to move on with your life
following an arrest:

Please understand that while America is a
generous country, a land where second and third
and fourth -- and more -- chances to start over are
available, if you have been arrested the landscape
changes, as you are discovering, as regards your
being able to work again in our public schools
with our children and public money.

While I am sympathetic to your plight, and offer you
sincere best wishes for your new life, I will not remove
a valid arrest mention without receiving from you all of
the following below; I apologize in advance for any
inconvenience this may cause you, and have only had
to institute this new policy because I've spent several
hours in the past few months trying to help folks who
contacted me saying they were innocent, then, when I
contacted pertinent local authorities such as police
departments and DA's, discovered that the charges
had not been dropped and the folks who contacted me
had actually pleaded "guilty."

Please send ALL of the following to the address below:

o Copies of: (a) your court records including a
dismissal of all charges by the judge, (b) your police
and arrest report, and (c) all pleadings filed by your
attorney on your behalf including but not limited to
settlement agreement(s).

o A copy of your employment file from your public
school employer at the time of your arrest. Please
delete your Social Security number and other personal
information protected by the Freedom of Information
Act. What would be helpful: A letter from your former
superintendent stating that you are eligible for rehire
at that district.

o A copy of your valid certificate and/or license from
your state's education department or agency showing
that you have been cleared of all charges and may
return to work in your state's public schools.

Please send all of the above documents to:

If you're asking for assistance:

If you want your arrest removed:

PLEASE NOTE: I will be unable to engage in emails with
you without having first received all of the copies
listed above.

Again, I wish you all the best with your new life.

Friends, please put enough information in the re or subject
box for me to know that your email is not spam. Best: Name of school district
and state, plus nature of problem. Due to the heavy volume of reader mail, I am
no longer able to open emails with blank subject lines;
they go straight to my junk folder.
