Teacher Faces Termination for Attending Concert While on Sick Leave

A high school English teacher in Ohio, Eileen Washburn, is facing potential termination after allegedly calling in sick for two days to attend a concert in Nashville, Tennessee. The school board accused her of falsifying sick leave and refusing to provide details about her absence. Washburn, who is also a board member at another school district, is currently on unpaid leave and faces termination unless she requests a hearing by the next board meeting in April.
