BOE Voting Meeting - January 24, 2017

I can't believe that I haven't posted this video yet. It was really quite entertaining.

During the meeting, the Board of Education voted to reverse it's controversial December decision to provide personal legal counsel to 5 board members in the on going battle over ethics charges filed against fellow board member, Joan Minnuies. The fireworks begin at the 51 minute mark of the video and proceed from there. It really is a must watch.

Also be sure to check out minutes between 1:12:00 to 1:28:00 of the video. Former board president Jim Cody, who was one of the board members looking for free legal representation against Joan Minnuies, decided to vote against the advise of the BOE lawyer, who advised that there may be a conflict of interest if he voted on the proposal to table the legal representation. He voted anyway and when the vote passed to reverse the BOE's December action, he accuses other board members of collusion and conspiracy!  Ain't that a case of the kettle calling the pot black?!

BOE Workshop Meeting - January 18, 2017

I meant to post this video of the January 18th Workshop meeting of the Middletown Board of Education last week, when it was first published, before last night's scheduled BOE meeting, but just didn't get around to it. I suppose that was because the meeting was routine and filled with Committee Reports from the various ad-hoc committees that actually do the heavy lifting for the school district.

On a brief side note, I just wanted to mentioned that for her very first meeting as BOE president, Danielle Walsh, though obviously nervous, did a fine job at conducting the meeting.
