Hartland Schools Rejects Sahouri Offer

The Hartland Consolidated Schools Board of Education has rejected the award suggested by the Case Evaluation Panel regarding former Creekside Elementary principal, Tracey Sahouri. 

As Hartland Patch previously reported, Sahouri, former principal of Creekside Elementary School and former vice principal of Hartland High School, is suing the Hartland Consolidated Schools district over circumstances involving her reassignment as a study-skills and special-education teacher.

In a statement from Hartland Schools, allegations made regarding the 2012 MEAP misconduct at Creekside Elementary School which was investigated by two different independent agencies, the Michigan Department of Education and Hartland Consolidated Schools, determined misconduct had occurred.

"The Board of Education stands by the personnel decision made as a result of these investigations," the press release stated.

On April 22, the Board of Education had a closed session meeting to discuss the possible settlement.

Hartland Superintendent Janet Sifferman said the outcome of the meeting would not be released until early May, however, due to the fact that case evaluations must be kept confidential for a required period of time.
