July 9, 2013<\/strong>, at Snowbird ski resort, I questioned why we were not following that policy.<\/p>\nIn the audio you will hear the superintendent state that the process has not changed since he has been at the district and he claims that the board does approve hiring when they place the names on the consent agenda.<\/p>\n
Sadly, the ensuing conversation is yet another example of board members with over a decade of serving on the board do not understand their powers and authority.<\/p>\n
At one point, board member Heather Bennett states that the \u201cprincipals don\u2019t have contracts\u201d<\/strong> after she makes the statement, she looks to the superintendent for approval and asks him, \u201cam I correct?\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAt another point in the conversation board member Doug Nelson will state in a condescending tone, \u201cwe are not voting like we vote on a policy\u201d<\/strong>. I am not sure what other kind of voting he is talking about. The policy places both issues in the same list.<\/p>\nAt the end of the conversation McKell intones: \u201cas a board member \u2026that is not your role\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe board president then declares that it is \u201cconfusing\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
