I'll be in Portland today to hear the Oral Arguments being presented to the Maine Supreme Court hoping to obtain a court order requiring Commissioner of Education Gendron to conduct the post-deprivation hearing regarding the termination of employment of former school superintendent Louise Regan.
The attorneys for SAD 63 and Ms. Regan will be presenting arguments on one side and an Assistant (state) Attorney General will be arguing on the other side - arguing on behalf of the Commissioner (that she should not be compelled to conduct the hearing). Our tax dollars at work (or not).
I'll be reporting on the hearing ASAP. I expect travel time will be tight because there is also a Budget and Finance Committee meeting at 6pm tonight also (at the Holbrook Middle School) immediately followed by an Executive Committee called by School Board Chairman Varnum to FINALLY decide upon appointing an RSU committee to get started - and a negotiating team to get started working on the teachers' contracts also needing attention.
Nothing like waiting until the last minute.
Since Tuesdays are my long day to begin with (my Writers' Group meets Tuesday mornings in Bangor) and I'm getting my snow tires put on, plus the final work done on the car needed for the inspection - the posting for all these School Board activities may be done in the wee hours tonight or tomorrow night. Please be patient and Stay Tuned.
