Will any of the DISSED by DISD be Dissed?

Current forecast: No reports of job loss or deportation of teachers (57% chance)
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is No reports of job loss or deportation of teachers with a probability of 57% (unchanged in last 1 day)

Please take a moment and read this article from my home state, Texas about curious goings ons in Big D, aka Dallas.

Here is the opening paragraph....

"Years after being advised by a state agency to stop, the Dallas Independent School District continued to provide foreign citizens with fake Social Security numbers to get them on the payroll quickly."

And for the entire article please see: <a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/111408dnmetdisdsocials.3d93dbc.html">http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/111408dnmetdisdsocials.3d93dbc.html<;/a>

So my question is... Will any of the DISSED...(Dubiously Integrated Service Specialists Evading Documentation), by DISD (Dallas Independent School District), be 'dissed'? Dissed is a colloquial word taken from the word 'disrespect', obviously these teachers and helpers have not been disrespected up to this point, although some of law-abiding tax payers in Dallas have not been as lucky, nor the holders of the Actual SSN's that had been recycled without their knowledge or consent.

To settle for yes, it will be reported in the MSM that one of more of these teachers, who had not previously been properly holding valid social security numbers will lose their job with the DISD and/or be deported to their country of origin.

Suspension date is just after public schools release in 2009 for summer break.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
