The Falmouth Educatorsâ Association, in conjunction with the Massachusetts Teachers Association, have accused Falmouth School Superintendent Lori Duerr of wrongfully suspending Lori Andrade, the president of the Falmouth Educatorsâ Association, for âfiling contractual grievances on behalf of teachers.â The FEA and MTA believe that Dr. Duerr engaged in multiple unjust labor practices. School administrators argue to the contrary.
Joany Santa, human resources director for Falmouth Public Schools, filed charges of racial discrimination and harassment in January with the department of labor against school employees, and including those in union leadership positions. The school hired an independent firm, Discrimination and Harassment Solutions, to conduct an investigation on the matter that ended mid-April.
