Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
Below are the final emails of relevance to the referendum or Dr. Szakacs.
I'm sure if an Open Records Request was done for the months prior to April, other important information could be gathered.
The information we have read concerning the disregard of Board Members to follow the wishes of the community are very disturbing.
Several acts were committed that were against Board policy.
You, of course, must form your own conclusions about the Board and, what appears to be, their unethical behavior.
If you voted YES to the Referendum, these 50 plus emails and information from Scott Bauer and the bloggers may make you scrutinize the Board and their agenda.
There is a possibility there may be recalls of one or more School Board members.
We have an election for two new School Board members coming up.
We have important decisions to make.

Hello -
I just wanted you to know that I will not be at the recognition meeting on the 25th of April. I will be out of the District attending to personal business. Thank you, Bill

Hi, Jim,I'm a finalist for three superintendent positions in the midwest. I should know where I'm going within the next two or three weeks. Two are in Minnesota and one in Iowa. Also, interest is growing for a job in Colorado. Have a great week, Bill

The Minnesota job sounded promising. I know they have been calling for references.
Where in Colorado? It's a nice state.

Scott,
Do you know a gentleman by the name of [blocked by district] (I think it's [blocked by district] - or something that sounds like it)?
He had called me prior to San Francisco wanting to discuss the referendum and some ideas he had. I indicated that I was leaving for San Fran and to be in touch when I returned. He left a message on my answering machine at home with only the first two digits of his phone number [blocked by district] I was going to call him and perhaps suggest that we all meet but I don't know his last name. [blocked by district] any ideas? If not, I can just wait for him to call back!
Jim

Either way is fine. You just tell me what you prefer - I don't need to speak. Just handing the diploma will be plenty.
Whatever you are most comfortable with.
Thanks!
Jim
p.s. - from the news article...my actual quote was "I did not know the agenda or what actually transpired at the high school assembly until I asked [blocked by district]. You and I were at a meeting together. I wish they would have at least gotten the quote right - and, as you know from the e-mails, Bill and Jennifer approved the information that went to the schools from the YES committee - and distribution was never discussed with me. But, like a kidney stone, this too shall pass. I am now excited for this year. I was dreading it but I think you will be very good!
