‘Just when I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief that there was now an additional source of income to help me close the financial gap that was growing every day, I was informed that the district was aware of my after-hours activity and “I was placed on paid administrative leave,” he told the publication.

Ruziscka said she was heartbroken to leave teaching and that each day now has “contained a sense of sadness, emptiness and anguish.”
“I truly loved walking into that building, excited about what I had planned for that day, as the energy in my classroom was electric, the camaraderie among my students was contagious, and the personal and academic growth was rewarding,” she explained.
‘Without my presence in a classroom, it’s like a part of me has died.
‘I didn’t just teach the students; I reached out to the students,’ she added.
Compounding the distress, the fifty-year-old woman said, was the fact that it was a friend who revealed her secret to the school district.
