Where is the Sense of Urgency?
Why so easy on the new board?

Three meetings today (March 21, 2023)
Here is how the school district has announced the THREE meetings for this afternoon:
The Richland Two Board of Trustees will hold three committee meetings this week. All meetings will be held at the R2i2 Conference Center. Please see below for meeting rooms.
The Richland School District Two Board of Trustees will hold a Parliamentary Procedure Workshop on Tuesday, March 21 at 4:45 p.m. workshop will be held in the executive conference room.
Review the agenda for the March 21 Parliamentary Procedure Workshop.
******************************
****************************** *********
The Richland School District Two Board of Trustees will hold a Safety Committee Meeting on Tuesday, March 21 at 6 p.m. The safety committee meeting will be held in boardroom 1.
Review the agenda for the March 21 Safety Committee Meeting.
******************************
****************************** ********* The Richland School District Two Board of Trustees will hold an I.G. Committee Meeting on Tuesday, March 21 at 6 p.m. The committee meeting will be held in boardroom 2.
Is the Parliamentary Procedure Workshop a meeting of the full School Board or of a yet-to-be-announced committee? Will it be structured to end on time, so that the two committees can start on time?
If you have a split-personality, then you should be able to attend both the Safety and I.G. Committee meetings. Each is important. It's unfortunate that the I.G. Committee announced its meeting for exactly the same time as that of the Safety Committee.

Why Two Meetings at the Same Time?
Ilya Shapiro for R2 Superintendent
Should Richland 2 quickly contact Ilya Shapiro and consider him for the job of Superintendent?
Read this FoxNews article about Professor Shapiro, who commented on the stupidity (my term) of the Stanford Law students when they interfered with a speaking engagement that invited Federal Circuit Court Judge Kyle Duncan to campus.
The woke crowd at Stanford shouted him down. Worse, DEI associate dean Tirien Steinbach supported them and further disrespected Judge Duncan.
Read what Prof. Shapiro, formerly with Georgetown Law, has to say.
What if Richland 2 had a leader like Prof. Shapiro? Would he correct the years of DEI leanings in Richland 2?

Violation of Board Policy GBEB - Staff Conduct
Did a violation of Board Policy GBEB - Staff Conduct occur during the March 14, 2023 board meeting?
Read this Board Policy. Start at the District's website, click on EXPLORE; click on School Board; click on BOARD POLICIES; CLICK ON "G - PERSONNEL"; click on "Policy GBEB - Staff Conduct.
The District's website doesn't permit copy-and-paste. So look for these words:
- setting a good example.
- set the kind of example (to students)
- conduct ... attitude ...professionalism
- mutual respect
- treat each other with respect
Now go to the recording of the 3/14/2023 school board meeting at https://livestream.com/richland2/events/10797768/videos/235427364 and fast-forward to 2:56:18.
That's where you will see long-time (28+ years) Blythewood High School teacher, Pamela Davis, snub five board members during the ceremony to recognize Certified Teachers.
Should the District investigate these violations?
Did the same teacher violate Policy GBEB on January 25, 2022?
- will not use profanity
- lying or providing false information
- disrupting the educational environment
- using obscene language
A complaint about that teacher's conduct was made and, to my knowledge, it was never investigated or acted upon.
The State Inspector General's Report on Richland 2 referred to problems with the process of handling complaints. I can certainly agree with that.
I made numerous other complaints, which were ignored by the District and the Board (the board that existed at that time).
