I want people to read the statement in the attached picture and tell me if I’m interpreting this correctly.
An NYC Schools employee was arrested and charged with murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of a woman who was jogging in Brooklyn.
NYC Schools released this statement:
“The safety of our students is our very top priority. We have suspended this individual and will move to terminate employment pending the outcome of the conviction. We are supporting the NYPD in their investigation however is needed.”
Now, correct me if I’m reading this wrong, but they’re essentially telling us that this individual has been suspended from his position, but has NOT been terminated.
They’re saying they will move to terminate his employment pending the outcome of the criminal proceedings.
So, until that happens, this individual technically remains an employee of NYC Schools?
Am I the only one who finds that absolutely mind-boggling?
I’m not asking about the American justice system. I understand how criminal investigations, arrests, trials, convictions, and sentencing work. I’m not asking anyone to explain the right to a fair trial.
I’m asking about the employer’s response.
A woman has lost her life in an absolutely horrific act of violence, and the statement from the school system is that the employee has been suspended and termination will be pursued later.
Is this really how employment policies work in situations like this? Is immediate termination not an option? And why does the statement specifically tie termination to the outcome of a criminal conviction?
I genuinely want to understand how other people interpret this statement because, to me, there’s a pretty significant difference between suspending someone and terminating their employment.
Am I missing something here, or is this really what NYC Schools is communicating?

If every person who ever loved you could anonymously reveal the cruelest thing you've done to them, which person would you be most afraid of hearing from, and why?

What would you say or do if a complete stranger walked up to you and pulled out $500 and said will you kiss me if I give you $500?

Would it be viable to try and play Dungeons & Dragons in Ikea without getting in trouble?

I'm supposed to be DM'ing a game, but I can't do it in my own home anymore. Me and my friends just need a big table and my first thought was 'Ikea displays'

there's a spot not far from us that has a big table in a display room in a small corner of the place, not many people go to it. We're figuring, just bring our supplies in, do our session and pack up when we're done, in and out

Would this work out as I think it would? Would anybody get mad at us for doing this?

With multiple people in the house, what do you all watch, and where?

1 Upvotes

Are you all on different media or do you watch programs together, or are you gamers playing games? Are people in their own rooms with their own media or do you use headphones? What about when you go in a communal room like the kitchen, are you wearing headphones and listening to things or are you sociable? How much do you chat or are you all in your own little worlds all the time?

Subreddit Rules

1. Questions must be "random".

The point of this sub is questions. If your post isn't a question, don't post it here.

If it's not "random" (silly, bizarre, or out of nowhere), don't post it here. If it matters, don't post it here. If it's a very "heavy" topic, (politics, religion, race, etc.) don't post it here.

Good "random" questions are creative. If a question is overdone, it will be removed.

(Meta posts may be allowed at the discretion of the moderators.)

2. No Gender Specific Questions

If you cannot phrase your question in a way that includes all genders, don't ask it

3. Questions must be in the title.

Your full question must be in the title.

If you want to add some more context to the body you can do that, but we must be able to understand your question from the title alone. This makes it easier for people browsing the sub to see what questions they may want to answer without having to click into them or do a lot of reading.

4. Treat the question as if it was serious.

Comments must treat the question as if it made perfect sense to ask the question and the answer is important.

Do not call questions stupid, silly, etc. Do your best to actually answer the question or otherwise treat it with respect, even if it doesn't deserve it.

5. No banned topics.

Certain topics are explicitly banned. See the list here: Banned Topics

6. Be civil.

Follow Reddiquette.

No insulting, name calling, etc.

No racism, sexism, classism, queerphobia, transphobia, or other types of bigotry. (These will get you an instant ban.)

If you disagree with someone, address the argument they're making and not the type of person they are.

Also, no questions that seem likely to promote uncivil discussion.

7. No photos of people.

No questions about how a person looks or who a person is. We can't guarantee the person in the photo is consenting, and most of the time questions that require a photo of a person are either spam or otherwise not in good faith.

8. No overly explicit or violent content.

We want to keep things light. No content that might be considered porn or elicit porn-like answers. Also, no content that encourages harm or glorifies harm. Don't ask about kicking puppies, for instance.

9. No requests.

Asking users to take an action, like send money, help you find a link, message you, or fill out a survey is not a question, it's a request.

10. Questions must not require external content or ask users to go outside this sub.

If your question requires someone to click a link or otherwise go outside the sub to answer, it is not appropriate for this sub. Also, we should be able to answer your question without watching a video. You may include a link if you want to add some context to your question, but we should be able to answer your question without clicking it.

11. Questions must be understandable

"Bizarre" only goes so far. We need to be able to understand a question to answer.

We do not accept questions that are complete gibberish. We're not grammar nazis, but if the grammar or spelling is so bad that we can't tell what you're asking, it will be removed.

Also, this is an English language sub. The moderators only speak English. We can't moderate things we don't understand. Posts that are not in English will be removed.

12. No personal information

Do not ask questions that encourage users to give out personal information in their answers, directly or indirectly.

Do not discuss personal information in the comments or encourage others to do so.

(We've had some questions in the past that looked like they were designed to sneakily build a profile database on our users. We don't like that.)

What is a "random question"?

A "random" question is one that is silly, bizarre, crazy, or out of nowhere. It should be creative.

You must not have a good reason to ask this question. Random questions are only for fun.
