Response to a Motion to Dismiss by Quatrone plus 6…

Link to my response that Quatrone plus 6 received a few days before our last meeting:

I am posting my response pertaining to an ethics complaint because the public has the right to know what was going on behind the scenes before the Board approved Quatrone’s illegal contract last Wednesday. 

At the April 25^th meeting, Quatrone and the Board members he controls committed more ethics violations and took illegal actions.  Their behavior is getting worse, not better.  Their ethics violations are costing the Lodi taxpayers.  They knowingly commit violations, run to attorneys, and bill Lodi instead of going into their own pockets.  If they used their own money, they probably wouldn’t be so reckless and arrogant.

The State must understand the severity of the situation and start providing some form of oversight.  The problem is only getting worse.

A disengaged Board showed a lot of enthusiasm in cancelling all work sessions…

The public notice above appeared in today’s Record newspaper.

What does the cancellation of work sessions mean for the residents of Lodi?

-         The public is given less time to review agendas for regular meetings.

-         The public no longer has an opportunity to speak about issues before they are voted on.

-         There will be less time to research whether planned Board actions are legal.

Four Board members that voted for the cancellation just got on the Board.  They only attended two or three work sessions.  


Cardone’s re-organization speech: she has to be home by 8:30.

If they don’t want to be there, they should resign.  They should show as much enthusiasm for education as they do for their nepotism and cancelling public meetings.

The cancellations further show that Lodi has a puppet Board.  They want to show up, rubber-stamp whatever Capizzi and Quatrone places in front them, and then go out to the Diners where they are rewarded accordingly.


I don't enjoy work sessions.  In fact, I usually have a bad headache for 24 hours after each one.  It is frustrating to deal with people that are constantly scamming the community instead of dealing with education.  With that said, I voted NO because cancelling public meetings is disrespectful to the voters that put us there.

YES votes to end work sessions

Cardone, Leto, Scorzetti, Vizcaino, Marra, Nardino, and Carbonetti

NO vote

Curioni

Absent

Telep

All other school employees that did not retire by a certain date lost a significant amount of sick day reimbursement…

As a corrupt Board attempts to pay Quatrone up to $191,723 for unused sick days, you must consider the district policy for all other employees.

A quick search on the perc website showed the following,

$15,000 cap for Teachers:

$15,000 cap for Custodians:

$15,000 cap Supervisors of Curriculum:

$15,000 cap for Secretaries:

The Board approved a payout for Quatrone that is not compliant with the law.


The Board approved a payout for Quatrone that is not in line with its policy with all other district employees. 

This shows a Superintendent not leading by example (he controls the Board members and tells them how to vote).  A clear double standard.  

Conduct unbecoming of a Lodi teacher making $102,245…

This teacher used dirty, disgusting language Wednesday night on school property.  Her crazy outburst was unprovoked and directed at someone she never met. 

Her behavior is appalling.  What example is she setting for the students of Lodi?


People that actually live in Lodi are getting fed up with these spoiled brats that get everything from politics and bad behavior.
