Comparing last week's
Mt. Lebanon School District's agenda to this week's, I have noticed a change in procedures, which is undefined in policy.
July 11, 2011 Agenda
July 18, 2011 Agenda
From the July 18th Agenda:
9. Comments from Residents and Taxpayers Concerning Action Items for This Meeting –
Presentations or comments are to be limited to four (4) minutes.
10. Unfinished Business for Board Consideration or Action
11. New Business for Board Consideration and Action. All matters of new business were considered
and discussed by the Board at its Discussion Meeting on July 11, 2011, except as noted (*).
If I understand this correctly, the Residents and Taxpayers are being given four minutes to comment on Action Items for this meeting in Item 9. After the opportunity for public comment, comes Item 10 - Unfinished Business for Board Consideration or Action. However, what the Board is taking Action on, is not stated!!! How are we expected to comment, when the Action Item is a secret? OR is the Unfinished Business the Superintendent's Salary motion which was not carried over from last week's Agenda? Josephine Posti did say that we would hear more this week. Why is the School Board not putting the Superintendent's Salary motion in the Agenda when his raise was due July 1? Where's the transparency? Why isn't the School Board following its own policy?
