Mayor: "some operational checks and balances of the absolute power of the superintendent...a critical process...expulsion of students...grievance process..to provide some check on that...some role to play to provide some checks on the process..for fairness"
Gilbert: where that fits, is in policy (for check and balances). "through policy you give the superintendent direction, you also give them some leeway"
Monfredo: "we as a body, we have to work as a team"
Gilbert: "sometimes a grievance is about interpretation of the contract...sort of judge and jury around two different interpretations...disciplinary grievance can only be sent onto arbitration (based on conflicting case law)"
Biancheria: "we are here because we were voted in...to represent the students of the city...where does that fit it?...that vote got you here...where is it here?"
Gilbert: "you can bring anything to the board, but if the board doesn't have the authority to act"...you can't do anything.."you don't provide constituent services...you have no authority to act other than if the power is given to you by the board...explain the chain of command to them"
(I think it's debatable how much this plays out in fact...)
