There She Goes Again !<\/span>
\n<\/strong>The Misclassification of Another Document<\/h3>\n

In June of this year, I became aware that the District had commissioned a performance Audit on the Human Resource Department.<\/p>\n

I sent an email to Superintendent Withers, requesting a copy of the Audit.<\/p>\n

On July 7, 2015, the Superintendent’s personal Attorney, Ms. Kindle emails me a copy of the Audit and states the following:<\/p>\n

The Report is marked “Confidential”
\nand that status must be preserved by you
\nand the other board members who are viewing the report<\/span><\/h4>\n

On August 17, 2015<\/strong>, I submitted a GRAMA request for the HR Report. Board Policy C-7 is the records management policy. It states that documents are classified utilizing the standards set forth in GRAMA. I could not understand how the document could not be disclosed and utilized by District employees.<\/p>\n

On August 18, 2015<\/strong>, Ms. Kindl responded:<\/p>\n

As I indicated in my email, the report was marked “confidential” …Insofar as you have now submitted a GRAMA request,
\nthe district agrees that under the law
\nthe report is a public document<\/span><\/h4>\n

So, this is yet another example of what I call the:<\/p>\n

Cannibalization of Public Education<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is as though these high paid\u00a0employees (i.e. Superintendent & his Attorney) \u00a0sit around trying to think up ways to keep information from me and the public. At that, they are not very successful.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of the HR Audit, confirms a concern that I raised the first year that I was on the Board. A concern that I was mocked and belittled for raising:<\/p>\n

The lowest performing schools
\noften have difficulty finding and keeping
\ntalented teachers…Leveling the playing field
\nso that high-needs schools can compete for the best talent
\nis one of the more important human capital strategies a district can initiate<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
