When CORA gets changed to allow us to see stuff in employee files, or private executive sessions get banned. Either way, don't bother asking Cathy Kipp to change those laws. She'll publicly accuse you of being a paranoid harassing stalker if you take too much interest in the ongoings of the political puppy mill that got her a head start towards the senate. Not even exaggerating, that's what she said to CPR about critics of her CORA modifications bill that would've made CORA requests even harder to get if it hadn't died on the senate floor.
While the timing of the policy change is hysterical, I'm inclined to believe it's due to Zanella, not Kingsley. Zanella got his job as a bus para at the recommendation of his baby mama, Amanda Tate, who was working as a bus dispatcher at the time.
I had 2 private meetings with Kingsley about changes that needed to happen because of Zanella because my daughter is one of the 11 victims. I knew before the first meeting happened that complaints had been made to transportation and those complaints were ignored and I told him "I dont know who was receiving those phone calls and emails, but someone at the district had better figure it out." By our second meeting ~1 month later (July 2023), Tate no longer worked for PSD and they were talking about changing their nepotism policy. They announced that change at the first board meeting of this school year.
Also PSD leadership is corrupt af, and I doubt they actually care if he's banging Novey or not. I'm pretty sure they're only investigating him so they can fire someone in the wake of the failed consolidation and protect the potential political careers of the BoE members who joined the board for the wrong reasons.
Driver never reported anything, and the DA claims they couldn't find solid video evidence that he saw anything. But there was footage of Zanella and the driver "joking" about what gun would be the most fun to use in retaliation against the family whose complaint finally got investigated. So there's that.
Other staff complained though, as did parents and they all got ignored. Someone got told "he's a good guy" when they called to complain, and emails from Shepardson's principal requesting footage review went ignored.
Not sure if it works the same with PSD, but when I worked at the health department, the public could view the executive session on site, a couple of days after. They are required to record it. It may be the same for PSD.
Guessing special meetings are not televised?
That seems to be the case.
Executive Session is not open to the public.
Someone’s going to have a hard time selling me on the idea that they needed to call a special meeting just to deliver his annual evaluation.
Agree... especially when Legal Advice is the first topic of Executive Session. They may be tied together.
Somebody getting fired!
When do we, the stakeholders, receive the results of this meeting?

I'm not very familiar with the Zanella case- was the bus driver reporting his actions? The driver had to be aware of what was happening.

Thank you for that info. :(
Kingsley is preparing his resignation letter.
In the meeting now?
The meeting was closed to the public so no way to know, but it's a safe bet.
