<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>From the 2009/2010 school year through the 2012/2013
school year, I was employed as a teacher aide/hall monitor by Champaign
Unit 4 School District at Central High School. Despite receiving great
performance evaluations during my tenure, my employment was terminated
in April 2013. Though official district documents cite alleged
performance concerns leading to my termination, my employment experience
as well as district documentation would suggest that an undisclosed
personal conflict with an administrator was the underlying factor to my
firing.<br>
<br></div>Assistant Principal Jonathan Kosovski served as supervisor to
the hall monitors during the 2012/2013 school year (as well as during
2011/2012 school year). Kosovski capitalized on policy changes to hall
monitor directives in order to abuse his administrative powers for the
sake of terminating my employment. I have constructed a fairly lengthy
document that proves Kosovski behavior towards me in respect to my
employment was both unfair and unprofessional. In addition, my concerns
when brought to the school board on two separate occasions went
unanswered; in the first instance the board voted to uphold Kosovski's
suspension recommendation and in the second instance the board voted to
uphold Kosovski's termination of my employment.<br>
<br></div>Kosovski employed unfair tactics, conflicting directives, and
dishonesty in conducting his administrative duties. In at least one
instance, the board hearing that lead to my termination, Kosovski
fabricated a response to direct questioning by the school board. Again, I
must stress that my claims are supported by both official district
documentation and personal notes from my experience.<br>
<br></div>While losing a job may not be newsworthy, my story is
important because of its implications in respect to the school
district's lack of ensuring the fair treatment of its employees. If
interested in engaging in dialogue about this matter, I can be contacted
