It doesn’t look like
Jason Fischer is going to get his way to exclude communities potentially
effected by Superintendent Viti’s proposed changes from having their say and boy is he pissed.
From the Times Union: Last
week, at the monthly board meeting, board members Scott Shine and Jason Fischer
voted to keep the vote in February, while four members voted to wait as late as
June.
“My concern is that
this is just a tactic to continue to delay things,” Fischer said.
Because it takes five
votes to waive board policies and adjust the deadline, and because board
Chairwoman Cheryl Grymes was absent, Shine and Fischer prevailed.
But Tuesday Grymes
said she plans to ask for another vote to move the deadline back and allow for
more months of public comment.
“I’m uncomfortable
with moving too quickly,” she said. “It creates heartache if some people are
not involved.”
Fischer, who was
absent from Tuesday’s meeting, said he’ll challenge the legality of having
another vote on the same issue.
If he doesn’t get his
way he’s going to sue? What a baby. Thank goodness Cheryl Grymes sided with the majority of the bard and decency.
I also want to remind
you that none of the proposed changes will effect schools in his district, a
district he has mercifully said he will no longer represent in a year, if only it could be sooner.
Once again shame on
you Mandarin, you could have had Jon Heymann or Laurie Hatsel, you know people
who care about our schools, instead you voted for this guy who sees the school
board as a stepping stone and sadly you gave him one.
I don't see why it matters, since they only pretend to listen to the community. Then they do whatever they want.
