I am writing this letter to ensure that as a School Board, we follow through with what we established in the public meeting on September 2, 2014<\/b>. In reviewing my notes, it appears that we agreed to the following:<\/p>\n

\n
At the September 16, 2014<\/b> \u2013School Board Meeting: Release the findings of the two external investigative reports to the public.<\/li>\n

At the October 7, 2014<\/b> \u2013School Board Meeting: Allow for a discussion to take place with the public, investigators and the board as to the results of the investigations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Needless to say, I along with others, were a bit surprised at how aimless and disoriented members of the School Board presented themselves when responding to the Uintah parents\u2019 valid questions.<\/p>\n
Moreover, after eight long months of waiting, we were disappointed to hear you announce that the findings of the investigators would not be released that evening. This announcement was contrary to what the Board had previously agreed to.<\/p>\n
In fact, the August 15, 2014<\/b> -School Board Weekly Memorandum (incorrectly dated the 8^{th<\/sup>) states the following:<\/p>\n}
