I highly recommend that the good residents of the MDUSD
#1, File a complaint with the Grand Jury regarding the process of Mr. Nugent being hired as well as the other fiascos regarding all the conflicts of interests regarding the almost a sweet deal for Chevron and especially the bond people and events The Grand Jury can compel Lawrence and all the parties involved to testify under oath so he can’t just hide under a rock anymore.
#2, run some candidates against the incumbent Board of Ed since they obviously neck-deep in all these scandals.

The public can comment on the appointments, but not on anything else that isn’t on the agenda.

Censorship of the public is a bad move. Another misstep by Lawrence.

Are we really surprised about no public comment. It would be a free for all hammering the board and Lawrence about the process of placement. It seems the Supt. is a bit more cagey after the backlash over Nugent. Tonight will be very enlightening and may give a hint to the agenda Lawrence is putting forward with principal placement.

As of Monday, only incumbent Linda Mayo and challenger Jeff Adams had taken out papers indicating an interest in running for the three open seats. Dick Allen has said he will step down. Board President Paul Strange is also up for re-election. The election period will be extended to Aug. 11 because of Allen’s decision not to file.

I called Loreen Josephs, the superintendent’s executive secretary, and she said she hadn’t heard about a Monte Gardens principal being appointed. She also said no special board meeting had yet been scheduled, but she anticipated one could be posted on the district’s website later this week. I’ll follow up tomorrow.
