: : : : : I figured a new thread would suit this subject better.
: : : : : There has been a lot of talk about nepotism and impropriety in school board hiring practices. If certain board members where not permitted to vote on the hiring of a teacher (or teachers), should they not also lose their vote on teachers contracts?
: : : : : I think this is a huge issue.
: : : : : Let's take Joe Close. Okay, so he supposedly "caught himself" before voting to hire his wife. Is he also going to be refraining from the vote on the next teachers' contract...which will directly affect HIS household income? I don't see how anybody could find this acceptable. There are others board members who's daughters, brothers, friends, in-laws...ect will directly benifit from an insider vote. I didn't mean to single Joe out, he's just the easiest target.
: : : : : This is wrong. Flat out.
: : : : Do you sit around trying to figure out new ways to fan the flames of ASD related arguments?
: : : No, I just think it is worth noting when and how the system is being corrupted.
: :
: : Not really. It's the system that has been in place for a long time.
: Does that mean it can't be corrupted ?
Where is the corruption? Are you citing a specific incident?
