Public commenter alleges delays and missing investigation records; requests closed-session follow-up
Summary
Dr. Owens told the board he has received records he said show there was no investigation related to a Dec. 5 event and urged the board to revisit closed-session matters and public information delays; the board had previously voted to allow him to speak during public comment.
Dr. Owens used his allotted public-comment time to criticize the board’s handling of public records and what he described as the failure to conduct a promised investigation tied to a December 5 incident. He said some records he received "prove there was never an investigation," and urged the board to revisit the issue in closed session to share additional material.
Board members approved a prior motion to allow Dr. Owens to speak. No formal board response or rebuttal addressing the allegations was recorded in the meeting transcript; Dr. Owens asked for a private meeting with the board to discuss the material further.
