The Poway Unified superintendent who was dismissed by the district earlier this year is fighting back.
It is also Phelps' position that she was denied due process in her termination, saying she met with district counsel Ellen Wu for more than six hours on Jan. 31, during which the pair never discussed the allegations resulting in her dismissal. Then the following day, the petition alleges, Wu went into a closed session with the board, after which Wu handed Phelps a"a pre-prepared Notice of Paid Administrative Leave on District letterhead.
Nevertheless, on the following day when Phelps arrived for a closed session with the board, the petition alleges she discovered school employees had not waited for official notice and had, instead, painted over her reserved parking spot, switching possession to"Classified Employee of the Year." A Del Norte High softball player later filed a lawsuit against Phelps and the district over the alleged bullying, claiming emotional distress, violation of free speech, harassment and more.
