Interesting how initial reports about Kliebert's arrest left out the little detail that he was not fully retired. He was sub-ing. I get so tired of school district officials denying that a person was or wasn't on school grounds. Human beings are not invisible and do the prosecutors really have to go to the trouble of subpoenaing students and staff about whether or not this man was there? For pity's sake, he sub-ed. How hard could it be to check the records? Gives parents a real high level of trust in their children's school. And the superintendent is "considering" sending out a letter to parents? Just dandy.
