Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek wrote the soldiers deserve better than to be “uprooted from their families and careers, only to be mobilized for an illegal mission.”

Agree it's no surprise but with massive wage claim consequences. Not that they care since their whole purpose is to weed out current employees.

The school seems vulnerable to a couple legal claims here. I'd urge you to keep digging because you likely have leverage. I had a friend in WA who specialized in districts ignoring the law regarding special needs programs. But that was years ago in a galaxy far, far away.
