Nothing happens by accident with these people that have been intentionally manufacturing chaos for years now.
Read below if you haven’t seen this already for a clear and concise explanation of the chain of events relayed by Brian Allen for CV School Board, who has been doing a fantastic job keeping the community informed of School Board related matters.
I have received several messages about this post placed on a local “media/news” page. Allow me to clarify a few things.
1. I became aware of some students discussing an anti-ICE walkout last week and relayed this to the district administration. I stressed that my concern was, first and foremost, about student safety and, second, district liability. A few other board members similarly were made aware and notified the administration.
2. The district’s administration responded appropriately by looking into this matter with due diligence. The proposal did not appear to gather steam, and it was not approved or otherwise sanctioned by the school board or the administration.
3. Drawing significant attention to these few scattered reports may have served to advertise and escalate the issue. Instead, the district decided to monitor the situation and respond with discipline for any student who walked out in accordance with the student handbook and district policy. Our superintendent, Dr. Blanchard, conveyed this to parents in an email this afternoon.
4. The administration briefed us on their findings and proposed responses last night during executive session, which is meant to be a confidential discussion among board members and the administration. I won’t speculate on how the events of that executive session were known to this “media/news” page.
5. Lastly, it is important to put this event in perspective. What was a relatively small and contained issue has now become a high-profile event that has resulted in wild rumors and allegations leveled at CV, our administration, and our teachers and staff. As many of you are well aware, there is a select group of individuals in our community who actively attempt to tear down CV and deliberately cause chaos. They have done it repeatedly over the past few years, and they do it for political reasons. There’s cause to believe they were behind the posting on this “media/news” page and the outrage created was their aim. While it is always my goal to put our students and schools over politics, they simply do not share that viewpoint. I ask you to remain calm, do not give them the outrage they want, and trust our administration to do their job.
