The convention committee has stated that the chair was applying pressure. They have stated they had a proper motion to table for one week. Neither Ms Ryan nor Mr Sarwark get to tell them that is not ok, then bulldoze ahead. Particularly when a vote to challenge the ruling of the chair is in place, so there may or may not actually be a vacancy - which was the reason for the COC wanting to table.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Especially concerning given the questions surrounding the contract.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The fact that so many of you are remaining silent or voicing approval along the way of all these abuses says volumes about the lack of moral fiber in this board, and I am appalled.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I understand the desire to move on and stop the fighting, I voiced it myself. However a cease fire must go both ways, and apparently our chair has decided he cannot do so.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> Don't let me mince words on the other side either. The COC could have easily selected Mr Hayes if that was their desire, though at least their choice to wait while another vote was going on might affect it has the surface appearance of trying for civility.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I also understand the desire to not get involved, but we have gone well past the point where silence is not taking a position, and even if you do not agree with that, silence is dereliction of your duties in your elected positions.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">All of you are partially right, and all of you are partially wrong.</span><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This whole thing is an embarrassing farce that the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders I coach know better than to do.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I think everyone is quite familiar with my recent catch phrase by now.
