The August 15, 2013 Meeting Minutes Have Been Posted

The August 15, 2013 Meeting Minutes Have Been Posted

This link, http://www.wynantskillufsd.org/boe/minutes/2013-14/081513_BOE_minutes.pdf, leads to the meeting minutes for the regularly scheduled Board of Education meeting, which were posted September 26. The meeting was held in the Gardner Dickinson cafeteria, August 15.

These minutes do not reflect the true tone of the meeting as can be seen here on the WNYT news coverage, Wynantskill BOE appoints interim superintendent. It is concerning that much of this exchange, between the Board and the public was not noted on the minutes anywhere. These minutes are also missing information.

The next question that needs to be asked of the BOE: How much is this entire process of the 3020a costing the District, which was filed June 14, 2013? (What is a 3020a?)

1. The District is paying the salary of the teacher who was served and put on paid leave.
2. The District is paying the salary of the teacher hired to temporarily replace the teacher served. 
3. The District is paying the District lawyers to:
  • Build the case
  • Research the case 
  • Represent the District during the hearing the process
So....How much is this costing the District? Or really the Taxpayers that reside in the District?
