Let’s Answer a Few Questions.
In a recent article on the O-R blog an individual stated that there were 5 members of the audience that stood when asked if any one agreed with the board and their decisions. First, I would like to clarify some things. The first person mentioned did not stand, the second one, well truthfully I could not tell if he was standing or not. Carl Fritz was in Ohio so I am pretty sure the attendees could not determine if he stood or not and Rick West was in Florida
The questions about “Trinigate”
First, it was not on a night when there was a board meeting it was reportedly a Monday.
Second, according to a 1994 ruling school board members have authority individually from “Gavel to Gavel” only. The precedent setting case states that no board member can act or investigate any item without full board approval.
Third I have been informed that tapes at Trinity are accessible for approximately 90 days (I have not fully confirmed that however)
More later.
No member of the Board shall have power to act in the name of the Board outside a regular or special Board meeting, unless authorized by official Board action. Failure to realize this legal limitation often leads new or overzealous Board members into embarrassment. The law assigns powers, duties and responsibilities to the School Board as a whole, but not to individual members.

ReplyDeleteWhy is the district not questioning this individual? And pressing charges, as they should?
ReplyDeleteThere is a simple answer to your question: The only person able to file charges is the Superintendent....Do you really think he is going to do that? He isn't going to bite the hand that feeds him. He is their puppet do to his history with "drywall renovation".
ReplyDeleteThese board members have realized that they have no governing factor because they own the only person who is able to act on their behavior.
Then we need definite proof and we need to apply pressure on the Super!
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when the superintendent sells his soul to the board in order to retain his paycheck. Kasunich will never reprimand any of the board members or take control of them. Let's face it... this board runs the school and they know it.
