Reading the school board actions in the paper you would have thought they were talking about a different meeting. Most of the actions mentioned didn’t take place at the meeting, they took place behind closed doors where the public can’t see the deliberations and it saves the board from voting in public so people can see them actually saying yea or nay, though it is always yea.
Did you ever wonder why the school board has so many 7-0 votes? It is because the board likes to practice a policy of governance where they all vote the same way to give the appearance that the issue is decided and there is no decent. This is a suggestion that you can trace back to the Broad foundation, which also isn’t for open governance.
Last night they voted to fire a teacher and to let a poor performing charter school expand but they did so in the shade not in front of the public.
If they are so committed to their decisions why don’t they make them in public?
