After voting to table a motion to close Cleveland High School to allow time for public input, three members of the board appear ready to force a vote on the matter while some board members are out of town.
School Board President Veronica O'Brien has called a special board meeting for Tuesday, May 23, for the purpose of calling a vote on the question of closing Cleveland. Sources tell PUB DEF that board members Bill Purdy and Flint Fowler are out of town (Purdy is in Florida, not sure where Fowler is) and will not likely make the special meeting.
If O'Brien joins board members Ron Jackson and Bob Archibald, newly elected members Peter Downs and Donna Jones can only watch as the district breaks another promise with the public.
Less than two weeks ago, O'Brien voted with Purdy, Downs, Jones, and Fowler to allow more time for public debate. Before the vote, Purdy proposed at least one public meeting be held at the high school and that the public be allowed to tour the building to see for themselves the physical challenges facing the 93-year-old building.
No public meeting has been held and no public tours have been given.
