Mike Riopell has 2 articles in the Daily Herald concerning the state of the Teachers Negotiations here in District 46. The first concerns the delayed vote at the Board meeting Tuesday night. The second concerns the Emergency meeting called for tonight between the Board and the Teacher’s Union.

Offering little explanation of its hesitation Tuesday night, the district board further lengthened the approval process of a new contract with its teachers. Comments26 Responses to “Emergency Board Meeting Tonight”TrackbacksCheck out what others are saying about this post...

Are you saying it wasn’t the Board that leaked the details to these members of the the public? There’s some info I’d really find valuable and interesting. Please elaborate and tell us what has come to your attention.
By the way, the Board is already in violation of the collective bargaining act; what makes you think they didn’t leak the details to the public?
Carl, remember this: “not a teacher”
Are you saying my information didn’t come from a board member? Please explain.
Carl, why don’t you please share where your information came from. I understand you are reluctant to answer certain questions with a simple direct answer. You can clear up many things if you did so now.

What is it that gave you that idea?

I don’t believe you have/had the contract to look at. I think that you are teasing us. If you have/had a copy of it, who gave it to? Straight forward question, requires a straight forward answer. Everyone knows who we are… maybe it’s time you let everyone know who you are. You are making a lot of claims that require some backing up. How do we know you are telling the truth. A faceless name in the crowd can say anything, as long as you don’t know their name or soarse of information. Be it true or untrue.

I still don’t believe you have/had the contract. Let me get this straight. You are saying that a board member gave you a copy of the contract! Uh huh. Again… a lot of claims with no face behind the alias. How do we know that you are telling the truth? I think you are messing with us… again.

Carl, first, I have stated many times that I will not reveal identities here. I refuse to stoop to the level of intimidation tactics that occur on d46.info. You know what happened to us over there since you were a part of it.
I know you will continue to attack my family and me with false accusations. You will continue to divulge any information you can about me to try and destroy my credibility. Unfortunately for you, anyone that really knows me knows that I am a man of my word.
Yes, I will get mad at times, just like anyone else when they are continually attacked and smeared. I have reacted inappropriately to your taunting in the past. Thanks to you, I am much more adept at handling these attacks.
Secondly, you have not answered all the questions asked here honestly. You have refused to answer other questions. Yet, you expect me to answer all your questions with total candor. I have shared much more information about my family and myself than has been appropriate. Again, this was due to your attacks and smears.
If you want to gain credibility here, then you need to stop dancing around the questions, be honest with everyone, and stop the smears and personal attacks.
Here’s a tough one:

(and by the way…when Bruno gives you comeback like in #10 above, you need to re-type it 1st…mispell a couple words…screw up the grammar a little. you’re not foolin’ anyone, lennie…you’re not that bright)
Thanks for the complement Carl.
i rest my case…
Carl,
Can you have a conversation without “trying” to insult someone? Are you hoping that we will delete your posts again?

I never insinuated they had; Lennie claims he knows they haven’t (“I am glad to see the Board is honoring their end of the agreement to not discuss the details.”
Carl writes:
a.) asking the Union to re-negotiate after they ratified the tenative agreement in good faith is an unfair labor practice.
b.) the boards refusal to reduce THEIR tenative agreement to writing is an unfair labor practice.
Carl, is the board re-negotiating the tentative agreement? How do you know that? How would WE know that? Who keeps leaking information about what is happening behind closed meetings? Since you claim to know”
read the article you link to in this post…
Carl,
This is an answer to”
Carl said, “But I do hate what you do. It’s just plain wrong.”
I would like to know what is wrong with me sharing my opinions and research with the taxpayers of this and other school districts. I am helping to pay for district 46 children’s education even though my kids don’t attend there.
What it appears you are telling me is that if I don’t agree with the way you want the public schools to run, I should just sitdown and shutup. You have tried to intimidate me and my family to shutup. Yet, here I am still speaking to an ever growing audience. You know this, that’s why you continue to visit here and try to smear my name.
Your research is biased…and that’s just plain wrong.
“I am glad to see the Board is honoring their end of the agreement to not discuss the details.”
Carl,
Let me tell you about a story that is true.
There once was a lady and her children who were looking for a community service project the first week of August. The lady had a great idea. She and her children could be a part of the solution to helping her district by offering their reading abilities to be listeners to some new readers. So she called up a district school and asked if they would like their help. They left a message with the principal and the principal soon called back. The principal said that he would need to have them under an umbrella for insurance purposes so he told them to call the PTO representative to see if the PTO would put them under their umbrella. So the lady called her and she said that it would be under the same umbrella as a senior volunteer coming into to help the school. Delighted that this was going to work out, she emailed the principal and told him that we would be under an umbrella. She also felt that there should be no surprises to what her family’s intentions were. So she wrote about their dealing with the district and said that their family just wanted to help. That they wanted to be a part of the solution, that she had heard so many times from teachers and parents in the district, that parents were lacking in the school system. No, she wasn’t in the system but she wanted to show her children and her community that all can be a part of the solution. Later, she received her reply back from the principal that said that he would have to decline her offer. He said that it would be setting a precedent of having students from outside the school work with students from within the school.
So, Carl, I would like to remind you. It isn’t that we are just tax payers (although it seems that it HAS to get brought up) it is that we are trying to be part of a solution. I would also like to remind you that we were in public school, private school, and now homeschool. We have seen many angles of education. I myself was in K-12 public school! I heavily volunteered in both public and private schools and even substituted a few times; along with a host of many other things. Now”
Carl said, “
From now on, one at a time.
Valid, unbiased research?
“Carl, reread you own comments. You have a copy of the tentative agreement. Would you care to share who gave it to you? I doubt it. I can bet it wasn’t from a board member. Therefore you would have had to get it from the Union.”
Carl,
Here we go again. More run around, and not answering questions. As far as research/validity goes, he is trying to do this with asking you where you got your information and I am asking you to reveal yourself for validity. Otherwise, this is just bitter information from someone named “Carl” on this Blog site.
We wrote a collective of 3 pages worth of response to you and all you have to comment on is more of the same bitterness about a board that you seemingly don’t approve of and refusing to answer where you got the information as to assume that you got your information from the Union because of your feelings towards the board. I’d say that was a logical reasoning. You keep asking the question, quote: “What is it that gave you that idea?” YOU did!
Now, please answer our questions. Again… where did you get your information? Who are you, really?
