Here are some apparent Bylaw and Policy violations. There are more. I am going to post all the PUBLIC RECORDS that I have requested but have not been received. Why? Delay tactics.
If we get these records, then the truth will be known. That is why they are stonewalling. And demanding I pay $1000 to scare me off. Oh and the veiled threats of legal action against me for defamation. It’s not defamation if the information I have obtained is true or in good faith believed to be true.
We need to CHANGE the Board!
1) “Any Director shall be excused from the discussion and vote on any matter involving a) self-dealing transaction b) conflict of interest c) indemnification of that Director “ - Article IV. Andy Francis refusing to leave the Maintenance Committee when his father’s business was being discussed. See emails from S. Blanton.
2) “No Officer or Director shall for reason of the office be entitled to receive salary or compensation.” Article V. Paul Foley receives compensation as a “consultant” for CFA. The purpose is to be an advisor but he is on the all important Executive Committee.
3) “Of The membership, there shall be two elected parent representatives and two elected teacher representatives who will serve two-year non-renewable term, but who may be repointed after a four year break in service as a board member.“ Article. IV Herndon, Sabolovic, Longerbeam and Trimble
4) “A member will be considered for dismissal for any one of the following breaches of integrity: failing to observe and abide by the terms and conditions stated in the Bylaws.” Article IV . Applies to all members except the three new Board members
5) “At the meeting preceeding the annual meeting, the Board of Directors shall appoint a Nominating Committee whose responsibility it is to present a slate of officers to the Board at the annual meeting.” Article 6(A) The Board has not had a nominating committee according to minutes for the last two years.
6) “No member may serve in one officer position for more than three years.” Article 6A- Paul Foley has served as Treasurer since 2014.
7) “Vacancies in the Board may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining members of the Board at any Meeting , but notice of such a vote must be given at the regularly scheduled meeting immediately preceeding the meeting in which the vote is to take place.” Article IV. Steve Herndon, Elizabeth Sabolovic
8 Respect of the boundary that exists between management and governance.” Policy 1600, The entire Board, specifically executive committee.
9) Violation of the “amiable, collaborative, and diplomatic nature” required of a Board member. Policy 1600
10) Ch. 132 of General Statutes regarding allegedly mishandling of Public records requests
11) Ignored the establishment of a Nominating Committee for the election of the Chair, Board Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and Grievance Chair for the last 2 years. Instead the slate was announced and voted on. No discussion. Article VI(A).
12) Has functioned essentially through closed sessions by not making known WHO is on the committees, WHEN they meet, WHERE they meet, and not making minutes publicly available. ALL COMMITTEES ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! Not just the ones they posted recently.
