"Once the tweets came to light, so, too, did other allegations, and it was my professional judgment that it was in the best interest of the district," Superintendent Kent P. Scribner said after the vote, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Clark has 15 days to appeal the decision to the Texas Education Agency, according to KTVT.
In a review by the school district obtained by the Post, officials said Clark didn't realize her tweets were public last month when she reached out to ask Trump "for assistance in reporting illegal immigrants in the FWISD public school system."
