We have school choice. BUT NO CHOICE ON WHO LEADS US!

I am thankful for the champions of school choice that paved the way for the availability of non-traditional (meaning not what the public schools are teaching) forms of curriculum.  

It is the HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY to have a school based on parent and student choice but then we, the parents and students, HAVE NO CHOICE IN WHO GOVERNS THEM.

Yes, the Bylaws allowed for this.  Recall when Mr. Maxwell called out the claim that they changed the Bylaws for their own benefit?  He denounced that.  Well let’s look at the facts.

Steve Herndon and Elizabeth Sabolovic were initially Parent Forum reps.  That means the parents voted them to be on the Parent Forum.  These positions are limited in time as the Parent Forum votes them in.  Well let’s see.  Elizabeth Sabolovic would be the PERFECT member of the Board as she has a vendetta against Joe.  Same with Steve Herndon.  

Elizabeth Sabolovic and Steve Herndon completely got themselves voted in mid year without the standard interview process which administration had ALWAYS participated in.  Now of course, Ray Maxwell and the Board,that oh so enjoys intimidating staff (except the ones they are friends with), changed the Bylaws after the fact.  BUT THEY VIOLATED THE BYLAWS TO SECURE THEIR SUPERMAJORITY OF THOSE WHO HATE JOE MAIMONE.

This is not conspiracy theory.  If they, and their followers, are so secure in their truth, then WHY WOULD THEY BE WITHHOLDING RECORDS?

The full truth will come out.  I have a good bit of information already.  Of course, unless the Board complies IMMEDIATELY, my lawyer and I will be filing a civil suit against David Hostetler.  

CURRENTY THE BOARD IS VIOLATING OUR CHARTER BY VIOLATING STATE LAW- the law that governs the provision of public records.  It is illegal to demand $1000 before you can see any records, regardless of what has been requested. 

You see, I don’t think the Board expected anyone to stand up to their bullying tactics.  THEY ARE WRONG.  ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Mr. Hostetler will also have to answer to the NC Bar for his actions as well.

Here is some info from the NC Attorney General’s office:

Guidance published by the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office states the following:

“17. How does an agency handle records that contain public AND confidential information?
Agencies may not refuse to permit inspection or provide copies of such material in its entirety but must permit inspection and provide copies of the public parts of these records. They can separate or redact the confidential parts. Agencies must bear the cost of separating confidential information. “(emphasis mine)

MORE TO COME FOLKS! Everyone thought maybe Joe Maimone did something bad?  Guess again.
