I do not have any details, still awaiting a press release. This comes from a Soup for Teachers post written by Ms. Burton. Director Harris weighed in and said this:
The matter was settled today. Ms. Burton is going back to Garfield to teach.There was apparently an issue over whether Burton would be allowed to lead field trips. We will have to find out if that was settled as well.
One person said this:
By the way, the student who had been teaching the classes has also been punished now, for the crime of embarrassing the superintendent and his staff.To which another person said:
Not only are they punishing her, but also those teachers who released her from their classes to cover the choir classes.

Times like this I think the best thing would be for a sinkhole to open up underneath SPS headquarters because that's the only way we'll ever get rid of the vindictive self-serving bureaucrats who run the place. I know there are plenty of conscientious hard workers in SPS too, but they seem to be outranked in the senior positions that make the decisions.
As far as Ms. Burton, it sounds like the best possible outcome at this point.

As for the punishments... those are what as I have no evidence of that here
