The Mount Vernon Board of Education held a regular meeting on June 17, 2025, where several important topics were discussed, including community contributions and concerns regarding district employee conduct.
The meeting began with a presentation from a community member who highlighted a donation of a painting valued at $3,700. The donor emphasized that the artwork was given specifically to Parker School, not to the Board of Education, urging members to consider the significance of this contribution.
Following this, Mark Stuckey addressed the board, asserting his position as a whistleblower. He reiterated concerns raised in a previous meeting regarding an employee's conduct. Stuckey claimed that this individual was clocking in at 6:00 AM, leaving for a paper route, and returning two to three hours later, which he deemed inappropriate. He called for the termination of those involved in this situation.
The meeting concluded without any formal resolutions or decisions regarding the issues raised, but the discussions highlighted ongoing concerns within the district about employee accountability and community engagement. Further follow-up actions may be anticipated as the board considers these matters in future meetings.
