Request for investigation generates questions…

The the meeting that formalized the recent request by the Gilbert Public School Board for a police investigation was not caught on LiveStream. Local blogger and community member Blake Sacha was able to film the meeting and posted it in his blog. In the blog he also posed some interesting questions, notably:

A few questions to consider as you watch the video:
– Dr. Keegan’s letter stated that the School District had not been contacted by the police.  What type of investigation can have been initiated without the police contacting the District?
– Why such a hurry to do this tonight in an emergency meeting with 1 board member unable to attend?
– Is it appropriate for individual board members to release information to the police and not share it with fellow board members?
– Claims have been made by others that this investigation is somehow responsible for the 25% increase in certified employee attrition.  Do you believe this?
– Will the Arizona Attorney General’s office investigate complaints of Open Meeting Law and Conflict of interest violations in regards to the release of this information to the police prior to board action?

  1. Equally disturbing is the leeway the letter gives the pd. I thought the board majority believes in limited government power, yet Burk, Smith and Colvin gave the pd cart blanche. Interesting.
