Debra Kwapniewski and Gail Oxfeld filed their laughable
“unfair practice charges” on July 27th.
Counts 2 and 3 applied to me. Click on the link below to view the charges:
The charges were filed four days before the
deadline to run for Lodi Board of Education. By then, they
knew they would be supporting the candidates with the worst conflicts of
interest. They also knew what that would lead to.
In their complaint, they sought to have me removed
from future union negotiations. I am NOT on teacher union negotiations. I can’t be on teacher negotiations because I have
an “aunt” that teaches in Lodi.
Why would they seek to have me barred from
negotiations when it was NOT an issue?
Because they were planning ahead for a 100% conflicted Board.
If the LEA had its way on November 7th, all
nine Board members in January would have a conflict that would prohibit them
from teacher negotiations. Witnessing
how some tried to use “doctrine of necessity” for the superintendent’s
contract negotiations over the summer, the LEA leaders wanted the same for
themselves.
The only downside the LEA saw with a 100% conflicted
board is that I would still be there.
Thus, you saw their desperate attempt to bar me from future negotiations.
At
some point, outside government agencies really need to investigate their plot
and what it means for the taxpayers of Lodi.
The LEA’s political actions were really bad for
students and public education.
