Story from a friend who teaches in DISD: (no, not an urban myth, this is true)
Teachers were supposed to be let go at the end of the day. One of their teachers was called into the principal's office 1st period. The teacher was told to start packing immediately. He had to go back to his classroom - with students in there- and begin packing up his room.
