Resident praises outgoing member and alleges teacher misconduct during Blue Valley open forum
Summary
In open forum, Irina Weaver praised outgoing board member Jim McMullen and alleged that a teacher sent inappropriate texts to a student; Weaver said McMullen helped change district policy and defended a long-serving teacher affected by the situation. The allegation was raised in public comment and not adjudicated at the meeting.
A resident used the Blue Valley Board’s open forum on Dec. 8 to praise outgoing board member Jim McMullen and to allege a past incident involving a teacher and a student.
Irina Weaver told the board she was ‘‘thankful’’ for McMullen’s actions, saying his involvement ‘‘led to changing your policy and ensuring that the similar situation would not happen again to another family.’’ She described the incident as a teacher ‘‘conditioning their daughter via text messages behind their backs.’’ The comment also defended a teacher the speaker said had more than 25 years of service and was respected by families.
Board leadership thanked Weaver for her remarks during open forum. The board did not take any formal action based on the comment at the meeting; no investigation, finding or staff report was presented during the public session.
Separately at the meeting, the board formally thanked Jim McMullen for his service since January 2022; McMullen said he would reserve most comments for later in the meeting and later offered reflections on policy, devices in schools and bond sizing during board comments.
Because the allegation mentioned in public comment was not investigated or adjudicated at the meeting, it remains an unresolved public assertion recorded in the minutes. The board’s open forum rules were read aloud before the public comment period, and the board indicated follow-up would occur through standard staff processes if appropriate.
