Summary

Several public commenters told the board they were "deeply concerned" about Board Member Clarice Chick’s conduct and asked the board to investigate and consider her resignation; the board did not announce investigative steps during the meeting.

Two members of the public used the Feb. 23 public comment period to press the board for action regarding statements by Board Member Clarice Chick. Jennifer Sullivan, a parent of two Georgetown Middle School students, told the board she was "deeply concerned about the actions of Board Member Clarice Chick," alleging multiple ethics violations, asking for Chick’s resignation and for the board to investigate those allegations.

Rena Hadsall reiterated an earlier email to the board and said she was "deeply concerned by the public video insulting students and parents of the public school system," and also urged that Mrs. Chick be removed from the District 303 School Board. The meeting record shows those public comments were made during the public comment portion of the agenda; no formal board action, investigation timeline or response from Mrs. Chick is recorded in the meeting minutes.
