The district finally terminated Karen Hayes today and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief for our students. I am incredibly proud of this community for proving that leadership matters and that we refuse to accept a toxic environment for our teachers. We must stay alert to ensure the …

Remove Karen Hayes from TVUSD. She has continually run a hostile work environment, which is supported by over a decade of complaints and grievances filed against her by staff. Her removal is warranted from investigations at the district, county, and state education concerning her management actions. She was previously involuntarily transferred due to her behavior, but it was rescinded after the uproar that she caused at her new school. These are all issues that would be kept from the parents, students, and community. We do not blame those who do not know the truth we are only trying to educate everyone. Please sign here to relieve Karen from TVUSD.

Seeing this momentum grow confirms that I am not the only person who has suffered under this leadership. The tide is finally turning because so many of you refused to stay silent about what is happening in our schools.

Watching this list grow reminds me why we started this fight for my colleagues who suffered under her leadership for too long. If you send this link to three people right now we will clear the two hundred and fifty signature threshold before the board meeting begins.

This isn't about "men" there are plenty of women that were also battling the abuse that Karen Hayes was dishing out. Currently there are 2 female teachers out on stress leave at MMS. Why isn't that being mentioned anywhere?

I have taught for 17 years and can tell you my best friend absolutely hates working for her. She is fine unless she feels that you have crossed her in any way and then you are targeted until you leave. Problem is, he can’t get out. He has tried.

The district investigated what Karen was claiming at the time and the officers involved said there was no threat at all to Karen or anyone. This was all fabricated by Karen because she wanted to have an excuse ready if and when the day came that the District finally released her.

Karenis a fake. She presents well with parents but she is a nightmare to work for. It is funny how “her” test scores have continues to slip over the years. I am happy to see the district do the right thing.

Karen did not have to step down until the end of the school year. She walked out on her job on the students she supposedly cares about all becuae she has lost her power. She still has a job next year as a teacher but it is apparent that she would never teach she just wants to be a dictator.

I have heard the horror stories for too many years. Administrators like Karen Hayes are the people that destroy morale. It is time for TVUSD to stop being the district known for mistreating its employees.

you have nothing but accusations of what you think Karen didn't handle appropriately... I'm going to point out again that she was NOT fired for the thjbgs you are claiming she has done, and she has no write ups from the district in regards to any of these situations, as a matter of fact she has none in 17 years. As for problems with teachers...I think we all know that they cannot be touched because of the power of the Union, you can move them around and bounce them from school to school, but they're pretty untouchable. Maybe the problem is more along the lines of her not handling things the way that YOU want her to? So I suggest that you BILL DEREK DUNCAN get back to Your life and don't worry about the rest of us who are demanding real And truthful answers from the district instead of the BS that you are spitting out. make no mistake that the majority wants karen Hayes back, but we do realize that probably will not happen. She will sue and she will win because the district has royally fudged this entire situation up. The current protests that are going on are not to bring karen back, but to get answers from the district and to look at their own violations...which is OUR right! Unfortunate for you, your district that you support has some major red flags that are being raised and that CONTINUE to pile up!!!

Mrs. Frederick, You have now began drinking the Kool Aid. Temecula's local Hero is not who she says she is. You may want to ask her about her mishandling of School Site Council at MMS for over 10 years. You may want to ask her about the HRD mentor she had a few years back because they were trying to help out with her leadership style or lack there of it. You also state that accusations were made about her by Campos and Filippini and that Mr Ritter resolved them...hmm, are you saying that Mr Ritter was doing his job properly in that case but is now not doing his job because it is not going her way? Another falsehood is that Principals cannot misappropriate funds...this is done all the time. Why would the ACLU be suing school districts left and right, one of which is TVUSD, unless their is some sort of misappropriation of funds or resources. You may want to ask this local Hero when they plan on returning TVUSD property like the IPads and other electronic devises that are in her possession? I forgot, she is still an employee of TVUSD so she probably needs them more than the students at MMS. I know she cannot go near MMS to deliver them but her husband or loyal secretary can come and pick/drop them off correct? You may also want to ask her if any teacher has ever filed a restraining order against her? You may also want to ask about the male supporting teacher who ridiculed a student about their Biblical faith in front of the whole class and how she handled that situation. You may want to ask her about why Temecula PD was brought in years ago to investigate a male teacher for his actions with females students at MMS? Or another female teacher who was using an Instructional Assistant to do a teachers job and how that situation turned out? Or another female teacher who was constantly missing work to spend time at Pechanga and see how she handled that? Did she reprimand this teacher for their unprofessional behavior? Ask her about another female teacher that she has allowed
