10. That's a delicate, but not unusual situation.

The Director of that school is wrong...very wrong. However, as a new hire, your daughter may get canned on short notice. If that's OK with her, she should report the Director of the school to the clerk of the court where she's been called to jury duty. She can explain what she was told by her employer and that she is in conflict over it, since she understands her duty to do jury duty.

The court will take care of the rest, if they have any guts at all. The school Director will be in trouble over this.

However, your daughter will still be likely to be fired. Not a good situation to be in.

An employer who threatens an employee over jury duty has committed a crime.
