Ms. Stanley heads the policy committee. Ms. Bradford is Board President. One of the bills that they would like the Board to approve involves an outstanding invoice from the Transportation consultants for work the Board did not approve of.

Dr. Foregger and other board members correctly voiced their opposition to the meeting that generated this bill. That opposition was in part due to the fact that the Board didn’t approve payment for this meeting.

Ms. Stanley, policy committee chair, argued that there is no issue with having this meeting or paying for it from the transportation budget. She also claimed that this type of engagement was necessary for the administration to do its job. However, policy 175 states the opposite.

The bill represented services outside and above the original contract. Considering that the original contract’s work product (approved by the prior Board) was never provided to the current Board, one can understand why the Board would be reluctant to enter another agreement.

To date, no correction on the issue of bills has been posted on the for-profit media outlet that reported on this story.

The public should understand what is happening here. Elected representatives (one being the Board President and the other the head of the Policy Committee) and candidates are now arguing that the BOE should simply pay for items they did not approve or that were not specified in a contract. Our cost per pupil continues to top comparable Districts while the District JUST began efforts to improve Math and Science Proficiency which remain at the bottom in relation to comparable Districts .

But sure, let’s focus on mystery bills, a turf field no one has any actual details on, continuing politically motivated and improper ethics cases that are bleeding the District, and upending a transportation policy that makes school transportation accessible to all families while stopping the de facto subsidy of the township’s neglect of hazardous roads using District dollars
