I was just wondering something. Last week at the LSC meeting they took up several tweaks to several policies. One of which was the release of the REDACTED (I don't know if that's the right word but it makes me sound smart) minutes of the EXECUTIVE SESSIONS. I can't say I actually ever remember them coming before the LSC to be approved into the record but what the hey, for arguments sake we;ll say they have been. I do love to argue.
Now the MASS. ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL COMMITTEES recommended releasable minutes of the SESSIONS be released quarterly. Now LSC member RICK STARBARD was all set and ready to vote to enact the suggested suggestions. His logic being as a member of various associations through his business life he always found it smart to go with their recommendations.
However LSC member CHARLIE GALLO rather strongly objected to such stringent reporting requirements preferring to go with an annual reporting deadline. Being himself a member of an association like the BAR (sit back down they are not serving long necks) these recommendations have no legal standing that would make it incumbent on the committee to enact them verbatim.
Who is going to argue with a lawyer? I mean in every court case a lawyer is right half the time. That;s a pretty good batting average if you're playing baseball, which we're not but.....
So the yearly reporting requirement was adopted. That now does BEG THE QUESTION "What is going on behind closed doors that has to be hidden from us for a year?"
