Note that the agenda includes Public Input on the 2022-2023 Budget. Be sure to show up by 6:30PM on Thursday to comment on the budget. Find out if you have to register ahead of time to speak. (Remember how Teresa Holmes blew right by the Public Input session on the ESSER III Funds? The District told me that no one had signed up to speak, so she skipped that Agenda Item. She should have called the Item, even if no one had signed up ahead of time!)
Because this board meeting is not at R2i2, I have requested access authorization and expect to attend the meeting. The District's agent, Safety & Security Director Marq Claxton, did not follow the correct procedure, when he issued a written Trespass Notice against me on January 26, 2022. As a former NYPD officer and detective, he surely knows the importance of every word in a controlling document, whether rule, regulation or law. A complaint has been filed with Richland 2 over his previous actions that involve exceeding his authority, when he barred me from ALL Richland 2 properties.
The following email has been sent to Claxton. Will he exceed his authority again?
Mr. Claxton,
Pursuant to your January 26, 2022 Trespass Notice which directs me to request access authorization to any Richland School District Two property at least 24 hours in advance AND that I MUST receive access authorization from you or your designee, I hereby request access authorization from you at the time stated in this email for the purpose of attending the April 7, 2022 school board meeting at Jackson Creek Elementary School.
AR KI-R authorizes you to issue a Trespass Notice for one property only; i.e., "the school facility" where an alleged incident occurred - that being R2i2 on January 25, 2022. AR KI-R does NOT authorize you to apply a Trespass Notice for "ALL [sic] properties, facilities, campuses and buildings", as stated in your January 26, 2022 Trespass Notice. By issuing the Notice to me as you did, you have exceeded the authority granted to you by the District.
Each word in a rule, policy and procedure is important. Each word was carefully chosen by the entity crafting the rule, policy or procedure. It is improper for a designated person (employee or otherwise) to violate the policy or rule by arbitrarily changing and/or expanding the policy or rule.
If the Administration had intended that a Trespass Notice apply to ALL properties, it would have so stated. It did not.
Please approve my access authorization request.
Please also re-issue the January 26, 2022 Trespass Notice, so that it correctly applies only to R2i2.
Sincerely,
Gus Philpott
Resident, Richland School District Two
