V. Public Comment & Recognization of Guests
Discussion:
Jaylon LaPlante asked the board for permission to use the school van as backup for the Vegas Basketball Tournament next week.
Lizzie Swalley - letter submitted to the Board by Chris Swalley. A discussion was held on the hiring process. Questioning directed towards Mr. Shepard as to why the letter was not added to the Board agenda. President LaPlante commented that he and Mr. Shepard discussed it, and it was decided that this would be presented by an individual during public comment. Mr. Shepard did say he felt making a letter addressed to him and the Board would be inappropriate in regards to employee names being a part of this discussion and may or may not be present. The Board stated the questions were inappropriate and discriminatory. Mr. Shepard stated he didn't feel the questions were inappropriate. It was stated that in the past, the Board discussed having two members as a part of their interview process and should this be reconsidered? It was asked why Raya Nagel was the recruiter and how that is determined by which Mr. Shepard explained why Raya was chosen. Susan Pike brought a letter to the Board discussing student, teacher and parent interactions. Mr. Shepard also asked if we were to have all the letters and complaints added to the board agenda in the future. The Board directed Mr. Shepard to send letter from Mr. Swalley to attorneys to determine whether questioning was appropriate. |
