And her teaching career is over regardless. That's just the way it works, in my experience. No one will hire her except maybe as a substitute, and I wouldn't bet on that.
Personally, I feel sorry for her. She’s apparently an alcoholic and needs treatment. However, she’s in a position of public trust. She’s literally a measure of safety and security for people’s small children. That’s different from some random person doing a random job in a company.
There’s also the matter of who she could’ve killed driving to work. She repeated lied to a law enforcement officer. That’s a crime in and of itself. LEO’s universally don’t like being lied to. She made her bed and now she has to lie in it.
If you’re a teacher and a semi-functioning alcoholic, the time to ask for help through an EAP program is before you blow a .24 at work while lying about what you’ve done.
I hope she gets the help she needs and manages to salvage what’s left of her working years. She didn’t hurt anyone fortunately and deserves a chance.
Yeah, that is a shame. I didn't see how long she had been a teacher, but this is all just part of the process to subvert attention from administration in Tulsa misappropriation of funds, and showing they are doing something for the greater good.
Really that is what it is all about you know?
Distraction!

Seems unlikely, since this is in Perkins, not Tulsa. Peeking at a map, there's a bit of distance there.
It redirected attention, people will be talking about this as they can easily associate with it and it just happened.
If it was her 1st issue at school with it, I'd pull her aside and say get it together. However, I have a feeling this wasn't her 1st time and this was the straw that broke the camel's back.
With that said, there's not enough money in this world to entice me to even think of being a school teacher / babysitter.

No, it's the tendency for humans to go off the rails that's the curse. Ben Franklin said "Beer is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy." All the fools who over-do it, get drunk, spend all their money, abuse or ignore their wives and kids, they're the ones who mess it up for everyone else.
I'm not fond of beer, wine, or most spirits, but that's mostly because there are way too many drunks and druggies in my family, and I determined not to be one of them. Decided long ago to not establish the habits that made my relatives that way. Wasn't always easy. I spent 24 years in the Air Force. Alcohol was embedded in the culture. Beer bashes to celebrate promotions, reassignments, new arrivals, and just because it was Friday. Got stationed in Germany late in my career, and kept getting asked why I was there, since I drank hardly at all. I'd share a beer with someone else, instead of drinking one ( or more) of my own. Some folks hate people who won't drink at all. They thought I was weird, but I wasn't preachy about it, so didn't worry them. But I got to watch a friend with 15+ years in service get bounced out when I was a young troop. He was a TSgt to my mosquito wings when I met him. And I outranked him a year or so later when they put him out the gate. No retirement. No benefits. Nothing. I still don't know if he even made it home to Sacramento. That was almost 50 years ago.
I'm no longer willing to give humans the benefit of doubt on this. We've been tolerant and patient enough and all it has done is created places like Philly and Sacramento where druggies stand zombified in the streets.
