Public commenter says board should "do what's right" for his children
Summary
A public commenter identified himself as James Cuell and addressed the board saying his remarks were "for my kids," asking the board to act fairly; the board cautioned that public comment at a special meeting is limited to agenda items.
James Cuell identified himself for the record, gave an address and told the board his remarks were about his children and that he wanted the board to "do what's right." He said he had spoken with district staff and that he was not there to fight but to seek help for his kids.
Board members and counsel reminded the room that public comment at a special meeting is limited to posted agenda items and that the attorney for an interested party had expressed concern about discussing the grievance record in public. The presiding officer said the attorney would advise if any comment exceeded allowable scope and that the board would follow that guidance.
"This is hard for me, but it's alright. This is for my kids," the commenter said during his remarks to the board.
