I am still curious as to where the e-mails came from. It seems to me that this much controversy surrounding e-mails anonymously dropped off at the Pilot's doorstep should be a concern. The only people that would have access to these are district officials (Donna perhaps?) or IT people for the district (Correct me if I am wrong). So who is it reading all of John's old e-mails. Sounds to me like someone is doing some digging. I am not trying to side with John because what he did was wrong, but at the same time, why are these e-mails surfacing now?
Another thing that I would like to bring to attention is the lack of concern for the youth of the district. Many youth look up to John as a leader in the community and as their former principal. The paper printed the e-mails and then placed the paper at the front entrance of SPE. Now is that really what you want your children reading.
On a final note, why are we continuing to drill the school board ? It seems to me that this is most certainly going to be the worst school board ever, not because of the issues being discussed in the paper, but because we keeping bringing up non school related issues. I feel like perhaps they should be spending their time defending themselves, they should perhaps be building a plan to get the half cent sales tax renewed. Even better, they could go visit the schools and talk to the students and teachers who are there everyday about what needs to happen in the schools. I will be completely honest it has been a few years since I have been really involved in the district, but I do know that if I were still active I would be pushing for us to spend the recall money on education rather than chasing each other around the playground.
These are just some things I think Scott, his staff, and everyone else reading this paper should think about.
As for me I'm going to put my paper down and go volunteer in the classroom.
DeVincentis issues apology for e-mails
