Behind the public’s back and mine, Frank Quatrone’s contract was already negotiated and sent to the County for approval…






In an attempt to undermine the Lodi taxpayers, Quatrone’s contract was negotiated by four members (3 with conflicts prohibiting their participation) and rushed to the County for approval.  This was deliberately hidden from me and only came to light after I questioned Joe Leto during “Committee Reports”.


Whether they hate me or not, I am an elected Board member.  I have the right to see agreements before they are sent to the County for approval.  All Board members are entitled to committee updates. 


The Board members knew this was wrong but rushed it anyway.


Why?


The School Ethics Commission met yesterday.  Lodi’s “Doctrine of Necessity” was on yesterday’s agenda.  Quatrone’s contract was sent to the County for approval before the SEC met.


There is an ethics complaint against Quatrone and six Board members for their actions regarding superintendent negotiations and a false “doctrine of necessity”.  Quatrone’s contract was sent to the County for approval before they even answered the ethics complaint.


There is NO TRANSPARENCY and NO ETHICS from this Board.  This is public corruption at its worst.
