Baldwin-Whitehall School Board Meeting Video 1/15/2014

The Baldwin-Whitehall School Board meeting on January 15th which was had the video streamed live to an "overflow" room in the cafeteria was very lively. The room capacity of the board room is 87, so once that number was hit the remainder of the public was sent to the cafeteria to watch the meeting from a projector.

I was there early to get in the board room and recorded the meeting and have it posted online (link below). 

I think a highlight of that night was that Representive Kortz stands with us and is working with other state legislators in Harrisburg to create laws that will "reign in" school boards. He told me that he felt what this school board on November 19th was "over the top". We will not and can not go away as several officials from the state have told myself and several others. Please keep attending the meetings, Harrisburg is monitoring this situation very closely.

We also learned that night that Mrs Macek did not receive the job description prior to that night and that there was no official meeting to discuss this job creation/appointment prior.  Slowly we are getting information, I wish the school board would work with the public and come clean about that night.
