Board Meetings: SEVEN hours 25 minutes

START 3:00PM

END 10:25PM

Whew!

The Richland 2 school board met in Executive Session for the first 2½ hours.

Then the Regular Session began at about 5:30PM and quickly entered Executive Session 1. That one recessed at 6:30PM, and the Regular Meeting re-convened at 6:40PM.

Executive Session 2 began late in the evening and ended at 10:08PM.

When the Chair called for a Motion on the Parent Grievance that had been heard during Executive Session 2, NO ONE spoke up. SIX trustees remained silent.  Finally the Chair made the motion, and the vote was 7-0.

What was up with that? Were the other six trustees exhausted and unable to think or speak? 

The meeting adjourned at 10:25PM.

Total time for last night's meeting? From 3:00-10:25PM = SEVEN (7) hours 25 minutes.

Unbelievable!!!
