Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the actions of the XXXX XXXX XXXX, the consultant company, and the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which have led to significant unfair treatment, financial liability, and harm to my professional reputation as the former XXXX of the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I believe this situation involves retaliatory actions, fraudulent behavior, and the unfair use of a bond against me without my consent. This happened around XX/XX/XXXX and I was texted via mobile phone XX/XX/XXXX about discussing a matter about a matter concerning a previous public bond. 

I had the honor of serving as the XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX, where I worked tirelessly to improve the districts academic performance and overall effectiveness. XXXX of the key contributions to the districts success during my tenure was the hiring of a consultant company, which provided services that had a direct, positive impact on the district. The district experienced remarkable success under my leadership, which included implementing the consultants services that led to academic XXXX and a positive shift in school culture. The district had not seen such success before. 

However, after exposing a serious embezzlement issue within the district and working to protect the districts integrity, I was unfairly retaliated against by the district. In addition to this retaliation, I learned that the district filed a claim with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to recover funds for services rendered by the consultant company. This claim was filed against me without my consent, without any demand being made to me, and without the district 's prior permission to use a public bond in this matter. 

It is important to emphasize that I never gave authorization for the bond to be used, nor did I receive any notice or demand from either the district or the bond company regarding this matter. The consultant company had rendered valuable services to the district, which they directly benefited from. Moreover, the district had never been successful until after engaging with the consultant, which significantly contributed to the districts improvement and overall success. 

Additionally, I want to stress that the board attorney for the XXXX XXXX XXXX can attest to the fact that the consultants services were legitimate and successful. Further, the consultant of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX received written notification that the bond should not be used on my behalf, which was ignored in the filing of this claim. 

Therefore, I believe the actions of both the XXXX XXXX XXXX and the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are not only unjust but also fraudulent, as they are attempting to hold me responsible for an obligation that I am not legally or ethically bound to. The claim filed against me is based on an unjust use of the bond, which I did not authorize and for which I am not liable for the XXXX In light of the above, I respectfully request that the bond company immediately cease pursuing any further action against me and cancel any claims related to this matter. I also request a full investigation into the districts actions, particularly their failure to communicate or obtain my consent for the use of the bond, as well as their retaliatory behavior after my exposure of the embezzlement. I believe this situation to be a clear case of unfair practices, fraudulent claims, and retaliation, all of which have caused unnecessary harm to my professional reputation. 
Written notification was sent to the bond company consultant of XXXX XXXX regarding not using the the bond. 
Contact information for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX attorney, who can substantiate the consultants service and the districts success under my leadership. 
Additional documentation supporting the district 's retaliatory actions and the fraudulent claim filed against me. 
I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to resolving this issue. Should you need any further information, or if you wish to discuss this matter in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact me
