Sent to the 'warehouse' Baltimore County Schools whistleblower paid to do nothing

A Baltimore County Schools whistleblower comes forward, saying the District retaliated against him for trying to make school buses safer.
Monday, November 15, 2021, was a memorable day in the life of Paul Sauer. On that day, two things happened to the former Baltimore County Schools bus mechanic.
First, Project Baltimore aired a report in which Sauer appeared anonymously, blowing the whistle on his own employer, saying school buses with broken parts were passing inspection and carrying students. Second, on November 15, hours before that FOX45 News investigation aired, Sauer received a letter from Baltimore County Schools, saying he had been placed on paid administrative leave for “allegations of misconduct.” The next day, he was sent to the warehouse.

🚌 ~ First, I would love to “work“ in the warehouse. Second, I think this guy is a whistleblower but only blowing wind up our butts. Third, the internal investigation is absolute BS corruption. So the first point, I would just watch KZbin, Read books, and listen to podcasts all day. Just watch TV. It would be glorious. I would be a whistleblower all the time just to be sent there. But I would act like I hated the warehouse, but I love it. In my second point, Baltimore is struggling with so many issues all over the city including the schools. They don’t have extra money to spend on perfect buses. A bus is not like a boat or an airplane, meaning that when it breaks down you’re a risk of sinking or crashing to the ground. If the bus breaks down you just pull it over the side of the road and 99.99% of the time. So I feel like this whistleblower doesn’t understand the full complexity of what’s going on and doesn’t understand that you have to have money in order to fix things, and everything you fix on a bus you’re not fixing other places. And of course the news media is not gonna say anything about this because they don’t have an incentive to. What I mean is the more fear and outrage they can throw up in the air gets them more viewers, and I get some more money in advertisements, which means more job security and bigger paychecks. It’s a problem with the news media. We need the news media, but they have bad incentives a lot of times. And my third point, it does seem like corruption with the administration by going after whistleblowers. And while I don’t care about this particular guy based on what I mentioned before, it’s a problem when you can’t just tell people the truth and you have to squash descent through immoral or illegal practices.b

All this happening, and the students can’t read or do math at grade level . What a shame . This is sad , and the end is the poor residents that suffer and the politicians don’t give a damn

Absolutely very well said, it’s a horrible awful piss-poor shame.😑😐😑

[@andrewcanady6644]

You’re right.

[@d.lawrence5670]

Wow, hasn't this city has been under fire recently for kids graduating w/o being able to read, being passed on to the next grade in spite of having a .0005 GPA, report cards showing "great" attendance even though they missed hundreds of days of school? What TF is going on there?

[@anniesue4456]

[@mannyistheman2221]

How about napping in the warehouse? I want to take a nap on a comfortable bed with tons of cozy blankets. Don't you wish for napping too?

[@happiness5665]

[@philosopher1a]

I can just imagine they said " We don't need No white boy tell us about our busses !"

[@philosopher1a]

Our WHOLE Government school system needs to be completely dismantled

[@SeanBaxley-wm7lc]

How come dot not pulling and checking the vehicles.

[@markmyjak7739]

School buses fall under DOT regulations. Before the buse goes, the driver is to do a walk around inspection and note any defects. If it minor and won't put anyone in danger, the bus can go on the road. Defects found that hamper safe operation of the bus is to be taken out of service until fixed and deemed safe. Buses also have an anual inspection done.

This is criminal! Hoping Paul sues the school district into insolvency

[@Flipper86]

Seems like there was a similar place in NYC for teachers that got in trouble in the classroom. Only they were there for years.

[@GameShowMike]

He told the truth and got punished for it… that’s illegal retaliation.
