One of the reasons for that Item was a really stupid change in Board Policy that the Core Four jammed down the Board's throat last fall just before all four left the Board. A motion was made that the board would have to approve conference attendance for any board member, and the board majority (the departing Core Four) passed it. In effect, the departing Core Four handcuffed the new board.
Dumb; really dumb.
So Monica wants to attend a D.A.R.E. conference. If you watched last night's board meeting, you did not hear any good reasons. She even thinks SROs should attend those conferences; it sounded like she meant at District expense. Well, one SRO, representing RCSD, probably does and brings back the information to RCSD.
Did you notice that no one asked whether Monica had already spent her full $7,000 School Year allowance for training and conferences? Will that expense push her beyond the limit of that allowance? No one asked where or when the conference was or what the District's cost would be.
The Board just passed it.
