Now that the decide ordered the college district’s legal professional to assist the ladies discover a moderator for them, Hamilton says she’s going to be capable to proceed her work.

“I’m hopeful we’ll come to an agreement, I’m ready for one. It’s not my intention to bring hardship on anyone else, I want us all to do our jobs. but I do deserve safety and the only way I could get it was coming to the court,” Hamilton says.

Fitzgerald and her legal professional are uncertain the 2 will be capable to come to an settlement about who the moderator can be by the point her time period is up this December. Legal professional White says he has had folks attain out to him trying to recall Hamilton.
