Contractor tells school board his company was barred without explanation, seeks oversight
Summary
Jonathan Cruz told the board his company has been restricted from doing business with Raleigh County Schools for 112 days without written findings, prompting calls for clearer communication and board oversight of the superintendent's office.
Jonathan Cruz told the Raleigh County Board that his company has been barred from doing business with the district for 112 days and that repeated requests for a written explanation, specific allegations, or a timeline for resolution have gone unanswered. He asked the board — which is charged with oversight — to review whether the superintendent’s office has provided adequate communication and to require written findings if there are legitimate concerns.
"Today marks 112 days, almost a whole school year since my company was restricted from doing business with Raleigh County Schools," Jonathan Cruz said, and he asked the board to "put it in writing and give me the opportunity to address it." Cruz framed his remarks as both a personal grievance and an example of broader transparency and morale issues he believes affect district employees and community trust.
