Mark, I'll be in touch.<br /><br /><b>Anon Feb 19 12:15</b> Watched the video and I've got to say, Board Member Brentley didn't couch his motion initially in terms of provocative racialism. And most of the substance of his complaints seemed indeed to be largely uncontroversial among other board members. Of course as process questions and concerns arose, things got uglier and more personal in the usual manner. But I think we need to sequester that which was combusted, from the exhaust.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-80599172728842771542012-03-10T08:47:47.455-05:002012-03-10T08:47:47.455-05:00I follow the school board and would like to know w...I follow the school board and would like to know what the hell is going on.
