Only one apology was needed tonight. That should have come from R2 board chair Teresa Holmes for not knowing how to conduct a meeting. The primary person who was wrong tonight and who was the direct cause of the early end of the meeting was Teresa Holmes. She couldn’t make the correct decision that Mrs. Agostini’s secondary motion was exactly germaine to the primary motion.
She must have almost no knowledge of procedures and Robert’s Rules of Order.
Trustees Agostini, Scott and McFadden were right to walk out. That was the only way they were going to stop the effort to ram through a raise for the superintendent on short notice and insufficient information.
Caution-Parker’s comments were completely out-of-order, and she should be sanctioned for referring to the departure of Trustees Agostini, Scott and McFadden as “stupid and ignorant” and “derelict [sic] of duty”. Somebody might urge her to read Board Policy about such comments.
