Summary
Superintendent Dr. Richard Corbett told the board there were 10 HIB investigations since Nov. 17, four of which were affirmed (three at Copeland Middle School, one at DBO); the board later voted to affirm the superintendent’s recommendations on the cases.
Superintendent Dr. Richard Corbett reported to the board that the district has conducted harassment, intimidation and bullying (HIB) investigations and presented the superintendent’s findings for board affirmation.
Dr. Corbett told members, “There have been since November 17, 10 HIB investigations. Of the 10 HIB investigations, 4 were affirmed. Of the 4 that were affirmed, 3 occurred at Copeland Middle School, 1 occurred at DBO.” He said the affirmed findings met the required prongs and that remedial measures and recommendations were provided to the board.
Later on the agenda the board voted to affirm the superintendent’s recommendations for several case files (the transcript lists case identifiers and indicates multiple unconfirmed findings and one confirmed finding). The roll-call vote on the HIB determinations was recorded with Mrs. Anderson, Miss McGeary, Mrs. Mezick, Miss Richardson and Miss Torn voting yes and Mrs. Gorman recorded as abstaining; the motion carried.
Board members were advised of consequences and remedial measures related to the affirmed cases; the superintendent said full reporting will be included in the superintendent’s report to the board at the next regular meeting.
The board’s public record for these items includes the case file identifiers read into the minutes and the recorded roll-call vote from the meeting.
