According to Josephine, most of the Cabinet members have resigned

Wow! What a meeting! I was so pleased with the emphasis on education at last night's school board meeting, but then in a heartbeat, it went to hell. Except for Frioni and Diamond, Katie Caste threw the school board directors under the bus. According to Caste, the school board was responsible for all the decisions regarding the capital campaign. Nick Meduho was correct in stating that the Century of Excellence Capital Campaign is in violation of § 2-216 of the PA School Code. In October, Hugh Beal had said that the school board should take ownership of the capital campaign.

Then Josephine Posti got up to say that most of the Capital Campaign Cabinet have resigned. In fact, the personnel report confirmed my suspicions that Sloane Astorino resigned. DID YOU READ THAT, MEDIA? Where the heck are you guys?



Posti was really fired up and started going after Hugh Beal's loan/donation, and demanded answers from Mike Riemer. WOW! There will be a discussion about the Capital Campaign at the March meeting.

Before all of this, a resident - I believe her name is Dr. Melanie Austin talked about banning the rifle team. She shared her credentials, and presented her data. Bill Cooper also agreed that they should have a discussion about the rifle team program. Dr. Austin stated that the shooter in Florida was also on the school rifle team. A rifle team student from McGuffey School District took a rifle and committed suicide. She also said that people are against the deer cull here because of the guns. Coincidently, I posted the results of the deer killing earlier today.

What a meeting! Nick would have made video clips for me. Sadly, that is no longer the case. Here is a link to the school board meeting video. The comments are toward the end of the meeting.

The Capital Campaign has been a complete disaster. It's broke! Shut it down already.

Recently I attended a high school parents’ sports meeting in which we were told that Kids can’t wear hats with logos, like Nike, in them when they are playing in a game. So I was thinking there must be some rules about avoiding the appearance of sponsorship, perhaps. But what the rules about a political group like the NRA being involved with the rifle team, not just at the high school but thru WPIAL? There might not be rules about his but there should be.
