With less than four months remaining in the school year, a teary-eyed Amanda Coffman explained why she would no longer be in the hallways to greet students at the morning bell.
The Indian Woods Middle School teacher stood before the Shawnee Mission School Board and announced her resignation – effective immediately.
Coffman expected to receive feedback from her community and her parents in Michigan, but said she didn’t expect the video of the event to go farther than her parents' house.
“I had no idea this would become a national story,” she said.

Although I read the article, I unfortunately don’t think I fully understand what’s going on. Is someone able to explain this situation for me/the central conflict behind the “contract”? Maybe PO1 William "Chip" Nagel ? Thanks.

I have mixed emotions about this story and feel certain there is more to it than what is written. As a nurse and educator, I have strong feelings of sadness for the teacher, students, and parents. I was educated in Catholic and public schools in Overland Park, KS. I am thankful for the service-oriented education that I received there.
