ROCHESTER — An Effingham woman is claiming the local School District rescinded a job offer because she got the high school’s top guidance post over the wife of the School Board chairman.
Jennifer Murphy, who submitted her resignation from her current job after the offer, said she was so stunned to learn politics may be behind the reversal that she fired off an e-mail to administration reminding officials of the board’s conflict-of-interest policy.
