Liberty - The Liberty School District voted last night to fire

former middle school librarian Page, who has been out of work

since 2004, since going on sick leave because of moldy conditions in

the library.

The district has long argued that Page's physical inability to teach

at the library for nearly three years is a financial burden and not

in the best interests of the students. If returned to her job, she

would earn a salary of $81,701 and nearly $30,000 in benefits.

Page has said the district was responsible for her medical

condition, because of mold at the library. The conditions were

documented in a report by the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
