Former resident accuses individuals of harassment, demands investigation at public comment
Summary
A speaker identified as Jamie, a former Lewiston resident, made allegations of stalking and harassment against named individuals and called for investigations and involvement of the district attorney; the committee did not take immediate action on the claims during the meeting.
A member of the public who identified herself as Jamie and described herself as a former Lewiston resident used public comment to accuse named individuals of involvement in harassment and stalking affecting her and asked the school committee to open an investigation.
Jamie accused Megan Parks and Janet Bodine of defending neighbors she said had engaged in “illegal activities” and said she had photographic evidence of a person stalking her. She also urged the committee to contact the district attorney and called for an investigation into a phone call she said occurred on Sept. 1, 2021, between herself and Janet Bodine.
The speaker said she would press charges and referenced email evidence she said supported her claims. The chair interrupted the speaker when her allotted time expired; the transcript records the speaker’s allegations but the committee did not announce an immediate investigative step or a formal referral during the meeting.
Committee members did not confirm the allegations on the public record; they did not vote or direct staff to open an investigation during the meeting. The remarks were made during the public-comment period and remain allegations in the public record.
