I wouldn't poke Elaine too much, if I were you! There's not much she can do to her co-workers, but she has the power to suspend and expel students!
Fortunately, her punishments are stern, but they are rarely undeserved. She can't kick students out of school without a damned good reason -- which, if she has one, would be well-documented to the point where few could argue with her reasoning.
