In a recent action by the Prefeitura de Uberlândia, a teacher employed in the municipal education system was dismissed from her positions due to a total of 176 unjustified absences from August 2023 to February 2025. This alarming number reflects nearly six months of non-attendance over a span of a year and a half, prompting serious concerns regarding the teacher's professional responsibilities.

Further investigations revealed that the educator was allegedly using her medical leave periods to work at a private school owned by her family, indicating a potential conflict of interest and misuse of public resources. The scrutiny around her attendance had intensified as it became evident that while she was absent from her official duties, she was engaging in private educational endeavors.

The decision to dismiss her was officially recorded in the Diário Oficial do Município on January 23, demonstrating the local government's commitment to upholding integrity within its educational framework. The Prefeitura is also examining the exact amounts that may have been misappropriated by her absence, which adds another layer of seriousness to the implications of this case on public trust in local educational authorities.
