- Board meeting on Sept 15 was a packed house, the public hearing the apology of the board, and at the same time, a slap to the members of the public who did not like their vote to ban the live speech by President Obama. Many people left before the ridiculous #2 agenda item after an extra-long break to purge all but the most hearty souls from the room. That item basically negated any "apology" by slapping at Paul Schnaubelt, a member of the public who made comments about "killing the king", an expression used frequently in chess circles to mean win the game.
- Talked with Superintendent Brian Marshall about the question regarding whether it was appropriate to approve the resolution by Winet to protect board members using all legal means from threats (in response to reading an email by Paul Schnaubelt regarding "Killing the King", an Emerson quotation.)
- See EducationCodeRegardingThreats for details.
