TWO FORMER SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS ALSO SPOKE ON THE ISSUE, INCLUDING DAN GREENWELL, WHO ASKED THE BOARD TO RELEASE PUBLIC SURVEY RESULTS ON WHO THEY WANTED FOR THE JOB:
HIRESUPT1 OC……OWE IT TO THE PUBLIC. :31
MONIQUE SCARLETT ALSO SPOKE TO THE BOARD AND THANKED THEM FOR THEIR EFFORT ON THE ISSUE.:

BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO SPOKE MONDAY NIGHT, THE SCHOOL BOARD ONLY ALLOWED ONE MINUTE PER PERSON IN PUBLIC COMMENTS.
THE BOARD PREVIOUSLY SET A MAY 15TH DEADLINE FOR THEMSELVES TO DECIDE ON EXTENDING VANDERLOO PAST JUNE 30TH AS INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT.
