Where are the minutes for the meeting where you decided it was cool to keep the teacher who brought a gun to school employed?
Hi Kathryn — thanks for the question. All personnel decisions are made by our Membership, not the elected Board. This means that families, students, staff, and community stakeholders meet to decide issues of employment — and following open meetings regulations, these are “closed session” meetings where discussions and details of decisions are not shared publicly. If you want to review minutes and notes from open Membership meetings you can find those at: https://milestonedemocratic.org/kb/membership-notice-of-meeting-agenda-and-minutes/ If you’d like to talk this over more, feel free to reach out by phone, text, or email and we’ll be happy to share what we’re able to share within the bounds of our own policies and employment law.
