Why did Vice Chair incorrectly apply the Board Policy BEDH on Public Participation at the May 24th meeting?
The fourth speaker (Mr. Paul (last night not clear) during Public Participation tonight wanted to praise administrators and teachers of the schools attended by six of his nine children, which are Blythewood High School, Blythewood Middle School and Round Top Elementary. Listen to his excellent remarks on livestream.com/richland2 at 1:21:40.
The speaker asked if he could mention the names of personnel. Manning said something about "in keeping with (policy)", No.
This Policy has been been discussed at many meetings.
What is so hard about understanding this Policy? BEDH reads, in part, "The board will not permit in public session any expression of personal complaints..."
It says nothing about mentioning names of people associated with the schools or the District. If a speaker wishes to mention a name of a teacher, administrator or Board Member, s/he can do so. Board Policy is silent about that!
What is so hard about understanding that? Why can't Manning (and Holmes) understand that?
