School board directors,Since there are nine of you and I haven't heard back from any of you, perhaps this email got "lost in the mail." I hope it isn't the case that you are afraid to break protocol.I have not heard from the superintendent either. This is a serious matter and should not be ignored.Elaine Gillen-----Original Message-----

Subject: School board president and OutreachSchool board directors,I approved the following comment for my blog, Lebo Citizens.Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Interesting connections, observations, and more ma...":
The parent who sent the Outreach letter is correct. The Teen Screen program should be placed out for bid. If Outreach wins the bid then state law dictates that Mrs. Birks cannot have any supervisory or administrative involvement. That's just not possible given Mrs. Birks is the Outreach Executive Director. She can sit on School Board OR run Outreach. Not both. Next, it could be a director pushing their tutoring service or rehab facility or SAT prep service or whatever. The rules exist for a reason.
Posted by Anonymous to Lebo Citizens at April 9, 2017 at 3:38 PMI am quite concerned about this comment as well as the anonymous letter which was sent to my home. I would like a response from the school board. What is your position with Mary Birks being School Board President while being the Outreach Executive Director at the same time..This should be interesting since you tend to have the school board president answer all emails and sign all emails, "For the Board."Elaine Gillen

Well, that settles that.
Sylvia
Not REALLY Lebo school board and is corrupt and everyone know is . No law or regulation was cited. I don't believe that for a NEW YORK MINUTE
Unless Sylvia, we vote Ms. Birks off the board and that will eliminate any possible conflict.
Why don't we ask the department of education in Harrisburg for their take on this situation? It does not state what "counsel" he is quoting. I for one think this "counselor" does not have a law license... Frankly it is common sense this is a conflict of interest.
7:05 we CAN resolved this issue of whether there is a conflict right here w/o anyone's help.
Something like only 38 more votes going to Silhol would've kept Posti from returning to the school board. We can solve this issue on our own.
Which counsel commented? The district counsel? That's a conflict right there? Or one of the counselors on the board? Reading the email, I'm guessing Moorhead is the counsel that said it's a non issue? How can another board member make that decision?
Vote her off!
impeach Mary Birks now why wait...
8:25, who will be doing the impeaching?
5 members can impeach.
"Which counsel commented? The district counsel? That's a conflict right there? Or one of the counselors on the board? Reading the email, I'm guessing Moorhead is the counsel that said it's a non issue? How can another board member make that decision?"
Really? Not sure what a lawyer is? How is anyone supposed to take any of these opinions seriously when there is so little knowledge and so much presumption?
