DC School Chancellor Fires 98

Dc School Chancellor Michelle Rhee sent 98 employees--all of them said to be in administration or management-packing on Friday afternoon. They will be on paid administrative leave for two weeks, according to school spokesperson Mafara Hobson...and then terminated after that. Under a bill approved by the DC Council as part of the Mayor's school reform the fired school employees have no appeal rights; they can be let go without cause.
