Questions from the School Committee: Lukes

Lukes has O'Connell take the chair.
Comments that the School Committee is limited to five positions which they hire and fire. "Our reputation has been severely damaged...if it's a priority, we have to live up to the obligations we are bound by."
Ask DoE for record on waivers..this is "clearly in error"
Asks how we treat people if they transfer areas
Luster comments that they checked their records against DoE
Comparing school to city side: conflict of interest question on the application. Schools don't ask. "An issue that was festering in the 1980's..why don't we address it?"
School Committee is notified if any admin is supervising a relative. Lukes asks that it be added to the application.
Conflict of interest "is a major issue"
don't have to deal with innuendo
have little patience with a double standard; here to correct a problem
Clear up some of these issues so we don't burden a new superintendent and do the best for our children.
