No, completely based on fact. My colleague had, in fact, been offered
and accepted the new position three weeks prior to it being announced
publicly by the respective boards of education for each school district.
It is done that way for three reasons: 1. By law, once personnel
decisions have been made, they must be publicly announced at the next
stated board meeting, 2. It gives the school district making the hire
time to inform the other candidates that they were not selected for the
position, and, 3. The school district with the new vacancy can now
publicly announce (again, by law) the position is available to apply for.
