Elizabeth Carter 31 Hamilton. I don't know if I said it at the last meeting, but I wanted to thank the board for their um truthful and extremely hard evaluation process. I also specifically want to thank Dr. Robinson for her leadership. I've seen over the last few
years under your leadership have you've grown um your strength, your tenacity, your confidentiality. Um I could say a whole bunch, but I just wanted to acknowledge that publicly. Um I will say that
the chief school administrator, I'm not sure if there was a rice notice given or not. So was hired. There was no rice notice. Just there was there was there was not. So I won't say a name. Thank you. So was hired to have this district continue to be
that it's the best and over the past five years unfortunately scores have dropped, rankings have dropped and innumerable amount of staff have left for whatever reason. I am just asking
this board to continue to hold the administration responsible for the positions and the responsibilities that they were hired for. Um, and thank you. Thank you, Randy Blumbberg, 87 Chadwick Place.
I watched the uh July 1st meeting on TV last night and I agree with Liz that uh the honesty that was displayed was um probably difficult or I assume it might have been difficult for you all um but necessary.
But to say I was deeply disturbed with the evaluation because it's an understatement to just say I'm deeply disturbed because I think this type of behavior from a CSA and a school district that has been slipping does not
happen in one year. So my question is how did this happen and how did we get here and how did the board allow it? Um well that's it's a very brief statement.
I I happen to be a former trustee on this board of ed and I believe and I support the immense value of education in our district and I think the word appalled. Um I'm really appalled that our district is in the situation it is
right now. And while I also appreciate that you seem to be attempting to rectify it, the fact that we got here, um, to say it's unacceptable, I mean, I have to accept it because we're here, but I I
don't understand how those of you that have been here for a while have allowed this. Thank you. All right. All right. Um, seeing no additional members of the public for public comments, um, we'll close public
comments at 6:06 p.m. Um, and just, uh, another statement. So, as typical, we don't comment on on the the the comments that are made, um, in the public session. Um, so if you do have any questions or anything, please feel free
to send us an email and I'll respond. Thank you. We respond if you can. if I if I can because we cannot comment on personnel ma matters. Okay. So, at this time, um I need a motion to
um go into uh close session and I'll just read out the actual um motion. be resolved um by the board Glenrock Board of Education that whereas the board of education of Glenrock must discuss legal matters which include attorney client privilege and whereas the apher said
subjects are not subjects not appropriate subjects to be discussed in a public meeting and whereas the affid subjects to be discussed are within the exemptions which are permitted to be discussed and acted upon in private session pursuant to PL1 1975 chapter
