\nThank you, John for that accurate description of the most bizarre meeting\nthat I have ever attended.\n

\n
\n\n<\/a>\n
\n\nKaren Noll and Dean Poling at the door\n<\/small>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/table>\nAs I was not invited I remained at the door. Dean Polling came to\nthe door 10 minutes late because he’d been roaming around Rainwater\nconference center with a few other folks before he found out the meeting\nwas located here. This meeting was held on the date that the CUEE had\ngiven when it would unveil its education plan. So many assumed it would\nbe at the conference center and open to the public.(LOL)\n

\nThe plan put together by the unnamed education task force a sub committee\nof cuee pushed Levy into having it at VSU, when VSU has clearly stated\nthey are taking NO side!! So CUEE’s educational plan was presented before\nthe vote has been taken to an invited group at a public institution that\nis staying out of the whole stinking affair. This is all to strange to\nnot ask why and who is behind this mess?\n

\nAt the end when I told Myrna Ballard about the location\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

\nconfusion she\nsaid the invitation clearly stated it was here. I expressed my concern\nthat having the meeting at this location had clearly put both Dr. Levy and\nDr. Perrin in a very awkward position. Wouldn’t it have been appropriate\nto have this meeting at the conference center? She thanked me for coming\n(numerous times).\n

\nDennis Marks was also miffed that I would suggest that the location was\nvery unfortunate, not to mention the timing.\n

\nWhat has this done for VSU’s relationship to the community? No matter how\nthey danced around hosting this event they did and it is very unfortunate.\n

\n-Karen Noll\n<\/blockquote>\nAccording to Dr. Levy (as you can hear on the videos),\nmany of the invitations were by telephone late at night,\nso I don’t think Myrna Ballard’s explanation completely explains things.\nI was invited, although perhaps not by one of the original inviters.\nGiven that even Dr. Perrin said he didn’t know who was on the invitation\nlist, that’s not surprising.\nYes, indeed: a meeting to discuss public education, not announced to\nthe public,\nthe local newspaper of record not invited,\nthe document not presented,\noh, and hosted by two college presidents\nwhile both school superintendents were elsewhere….\n

\nVideos are all uploaded now; follow\n\nthis link.<\/a>\n
