At one point another person went to the restroom and upon his return stated that Danny Blanton was standing outside the Closed Session Room. Apparently booted out.
More time drags on and on. Something very fishy and smelly was going on. I was certain of that. And something besides the Superintendent’s Evaluation.
Finally, after two hours of something behind closed doors, the School Board comes back into Open Session–MINUS Danny Blanton without explanation. Now I knew something fishy was definitely going on. The Board voted to approve Superintendent Fisher’s Contract Extension and adjourned the meeting.
But, before they could get away, I asked Chairman Shearra Miller to see a copy of this new contract. She said it was just like the old one. I said it didn’t take two hours in closed session to do that. And, What about conferring with the Board Attorney? Chairman Miller admitted they had had a discussion with the Board Attorney about a personnel matter. Superintendent Fisher added that they had discussed a personnel matter with the attorney. Not about the contract extension I replied. Was there another personnel matter discussed? I asked. Then both Miller and Fisher started saying things like “by law we can’t discuss what happens in Closed Session,” to which I stated by law there are certain things that have to be discussed in open session.” It was obvious that the CCS School Board had basically illegally gone into a closed session without properly making the original motion.
4. It was also obvious that there was a violation of the law by not stating that there would be other personnel items to discuss in Closed Session besides the Superintendent’s Evaluation.
5 It was also obvious that there was a violation of the law by not stating they would be conferring with their attorney and for what reason.
6. It was obvious that , although Jeff Jones may have been ignorant regarding how to make the motion to go into closed session, he did have knowledge that there were other things that would be discussed in the Closed Session.
7. It was obvious that other Board Members knew that Jeff Jones had made an illegal motion as related to going into closed session, but did not correct it as they could have easily done. It was just as obvious that everybody on the Board, Superintendent Fisher and perhaps others knew and conspired to go into an illegal closed session for the purpose of deceiving the public as well as falsifying public records on the full scope of what was going to happen in Closed Session.
8. Folks, Remember this Closed Meeting that was supposed to be called under NCGS 143-318.11(a)6 to do a Superintendent’s Evaluation. Go read NCGS 143-318.11(a)6 very closely. CCS Superintendent Dr. Stephen Fisher is NOT an initial hire. NCGS 143-318.11(a)6 is also attached to this article for your convenience. This law nor any of the other laws regarding the limited purposes of allowed closes sessions does not apply to the Superintendent’s Evaluation at all. This whole closed session was phony from the gitgo. A smokescreen to deceive the people and cover up for things that have not been fully discovered yet.
I could go on an on about such illegal activity going on with the CCS Board. Perhaps unethical acts too. Too many to discuss right now since there are other pieces to this puzzle.
Since the pieces of this puzzle involves two hours in after office hours consultation with an attorney, there has to be something legal here. Maybe potential lawsuits against the School Board Members or CCS Staff. Let’s list a few recent events that could easily develop into a full fledged lawsuits against CCS, the Board and others.
1. The two teachers that were just fired from James Love Elementary School for “inappropriate disciplinary response” in a disciplinary matter against a four year old black boy. Sources tell me there is evidence of chronic abuse of the boy while at schoo. Scroll on back a few articles about that.
2. The music teacher at Washington Elementary School who played the inappropriate racial toned music to a number of black students. Scroll on back for that too.
3. The improper suspension of students at Burns High School for displaying racially sensitive flags on their personal vehicles. Again, scroll on back for details as we know them.
4. The Title IX controversy at Shelby High School where the Girls Softball
team is being discriminated against in regard to equal sports facilities.
5. The excluded and missing School Board Member Danny Blanton at the end of the June 11, 2018 School Board meeting as described in this article. Mr. Blanton has been picked on and shut down by the rest of the school board for five years now. This last episode described in this article is a total mystery at this point. So, who knows whether or not the CCS Board was conferring with their lawyers on how to get rid of the only Board Member that asks questions, tries to help save tax dollars and represents the people of Cleveland County/
Stay tuned for other articles about this CCS School Board meeting held June 11, 2018 and other meetings. There is just too much stuff going on to write one article that covers everything.
