Public commenter urges board to explain trustee photo showing Confederate flag
Summary
During public comment, a resident said a trustee posted a Facebook photo with a Confederate flag in the background, said the photo was removed after it was questioned, and said the community has received no apology or explanation; no board response was recorded at the meeting.
A public commenter raised concerns during the Dec. 8 public comment period about a photograph that showed a board trustee in an establishment with a Confederate flag on the wall. The commenter identified the trustee as John Greenberg and said the photo was later taken down from Facebook but there had been no apology or explanation.
The commenter also said they had found other posts liked by the trustee that they found disturbing. No apology or on‑the‑record explanation was offered during the meeting, and no trustee response is recorded in the transcript. The commenter asked why, if an explanation is to be offered, it had not been provided after more than a month.
The board did not address the matter during the meeting; the comment closed the public‑comment period.
