After postponing my year's tax preparation until the last minute as usual... I decided to skip the Board Listening session and meeting last night... So instead I decided to check in online and see how they went. It was really anti-climactic. In summary:
- The Board met in open session from 4:00 to 17:29
- Supt Jenkins promoted the Equity mission again.
- The Board then went to closed session from 1.15:30 to 1.19:30
- The Board agreed to hire an investigator to investigate someone who they have over sight over.
- Sherry Tyrrell reported Listening Time room was full: 12 of the 14 people who signed up at the Listening session got a chance to speak. Most talked about the AHS Principal debacle. Some supported Dave and some had school concerns. Then she said comments would be written up
- The Board adjourned.
- I assume they are investigating the Superintendent's actions since he is likely the only person they have authority over? Or maybe one of the Board Members?
- I wonder if those Listening time comment notes will be made public?
- Based on the FB discussions that occurred before the page was shutdown. There are a lot of strong feelings on all sides.
- Please remember that I support helping all kids, especially the Unlucky ones. However the pragmatic reality is that we need to do it without alienating those families who can afford to move and take their funding with them.
