Like many of us to paraphrase a Will Rogers statement " All I know is what I read in the papers" by adding 'and watch on the TV news broadcasts" I feel ignorant and bewildered about municipal life in this dysfunctional city OZ (Plainfield).
After reading the over 100 page agenda for the BOE meeting and not noting any action relating to the High School Principal position or the hunt for a new district superintendent, I found the Courier's report on the meeting to be consistent with Plainfield authority actions; the two most important subjects for action were introduced a "walk-ons" in order to exclude public debate.
Non of the actions taken was a surprise. Both have been Public knowledge for months. However, there has been no explanation why Dr. Bilal was fired and Mr. Brown who had been previously dismissed from the position rehired. What was the results of the non evaluations that led to this change? From this cat bird seat it would seem that Dr. Bilal has the basis for a costly suit with a good chance of winning. .
I am also very confused as to the actual contracts that were
"Belin–Pyles, who first was appointed interim superintendent in May 2010, was reappointed with a $129,000 annual salary and a $912 weekly stipend. Cooper, who was appointed interim assistant superintendent last June, will earn $131,000 with a $480 weekly stipend in 2011–12."
If my 1st grade calculations are right Belin-Pyles will receive yearly$129,000.00 plus as weekly stipend an other$47,424.00 for a total of$176,424.00. Like wise Cooper's total income will be $155,960.00 not $131,000.00. Will pension benefits be based on the total number? what other dollar perks to they get?
The "SLAM" promised openness and accountability. Please advise how much in actual dollars is this latest unpublicized board action going to reduce available educational school dollars? A open reply please.
The SLAM team just means they are "slamming" the Plainfield citizens with more non-action.
ReplyDeleteDoc,
ReplyDeleteThese people are a disgrace. Look at the leadership!You also have a convicted felon sitting on the board which is contrary to t he law.
Didnt you support them?
7:43 pm 6/24:By support do you mean that I have written that the law was pointed at him and was unfair. You are right; He has paid his dues to society and has been a better citizen for Plainfield then most of the anonymous who have castigated him. He has as much right to be on the Board as any of the other elected by the people members.
