11. Approve: The Board adopts the outside investigator's report, and finds that the investigation reveals disputed facts. While factually inconclusive, the Board finds that the conduct alleged would constitute the actions of an individual Board Member, outside the scope of his role as a Board Member, and that no actions were taken by the Board of Education as a whole. Therefore, the grievance is dismissed.
