I was so busy trying to correct mistakes in seven hours of inputting that I missed the news. Darn it.
I got a call just after tonight’s school board meeting started from an eye witness that was fuming. Apparently Loren Martell who has complained that the Administration is diverting coorespondence directed at school board members to the circular file got shut off tonight.
He was addressing the Board and reading the promises Chair Tim Grover had made when running for the School Board that, according to Mr. Martell, Tim has broken. He got through about 30 seconds when Tim told him he was breaking the District’s Civility Code and told him he’d better talk about something else.
Art Johnston told Mr. Martell to continue. When Martell resumed Tim and his allied Board members and the Administrative staff stood up and left the Board Room en masse. They didn’t unplug the microphone so much as take it with them.
I turned on the meeting and listened to it with half an ear. The Board members were back in their seats but they weren’t up to snuff.
I’m too tired to continue.
