The chief information officer at Oregon’s statewide education agency has resigned.
Susie Strangfield alleged “intolerable working conditions” at the Oregon Department of Education after spending five months on leave and under investigation.
Strangfield was suspended in January but wasn’t interviewed by investigators at ODE until the middle of March. Over that time, she said it wasn’t clear why ODE was investigating her.
In the meantime, her supervisors canceled her meetings, appointments and speaking appearances, while instructing her not to speak to her colleagues. Strangfield said in her absence, ODE staff received mixed messages as to when, or whether, she would be returning.
