What Happened With The School Director?

It seems some have become very critical of my views or lack of criticism of Mr. Smith as School Director. I haven't written much because of the holidays and being very busy with other things.
So let me be very clear about my thoughts on Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith was wrong in what he did and he has admitted it. I was very disappointed but one mistake is not a pattern, unlike what was tolerated from Mr. Jackson.  So the bottom line, for me at least, is that what he did was wrong and not done alone. I believe that Mr. Smith understands what he did was wrong and that he will not make that mistake again. He also knows that there are many watching him with the sole purpose of removing him as Director. I believe this was a learning experience and Mr. Smith will recover from this and continue as a good Director.
