Heading: Daniels’s Background

Text: Daniels is an African-American educator born on January 2, 1950. She has a masters degree in elementary education and is 3 certified as a reading specialist. From 2003 to 2008, Daniels worked as a guest teacher with Kelly Educational Staffing, and had a good relationship with the principals of the schools to which she was assigned. In October 2008, following the end of Daniels’s relationship with Kelly, SDP employed her as a teacher at Bregy Elementary School in Philadelphia. Her tenure at Bregy seems to have been reasonably successful for during that time her students’ standardized test scores improved, and she received compliments from Bregy’s principal and an SDP school superintendent. Moreover, Daniels’s principal rated her as satisfactory in all categories in a year-end evaluation for the 2008-09 school year. At the end of that school year, however, Daniels was subject to a forced transfer because her position was eliminated due to enrollment or budget allocation changes. Accordingly, Daniels participated in a June 2009 site selection process for the upcoming school year. She elected to teach middle-year English at Thomas Mifflin School, and SDP gave her that assignment. Her troubles with SDP began almost immediately after that assignment.
