Why add the policy if we do not have the criteria?

This was asked many times asking for definition of school sponsored usage.

Answers were School funded or extracurricular activities. Not excuse absences if not a school sponsored event. Century Code Class B felony states Under 17 of age the school must report missing student after 24 hours to the LAW. The new policy they are creating is about reporting to the parents. Orginally the new policy stated the school had 24 hours to report to the parent if a student is missing. One board member did not like the wording. They are still working on it. It appears that Dr. Luken is getting the understanding. There needs to be accountability to the school to call the parents without delay for safety of the students. The school Administrator wants to give staff time to report just in case they forget to do it right away; however, allowing time through the school day may not protect the school is the student missing is the result of harmful activity. This policy is not completed yet. Parents, Call the school and tell them how you feel about this policy that they are trying to write.

The school administrator wants to leave the wording broad enough to avoid a lawsuit. Where is the wording to assure the parents that there kids are safe when they are attending the school?

School Board chairman ask public speaker if he wanted to still speak. He was hesitant due to what he heard and saw. The individual did speak only to have the chairman shut him done. He did not get the same amount of time to express himself. Does the board care at all about the taxpayer's opinion?

Core Solutions offer services to the Board. They are wanting release of information from the Board for them to go through the school buildings both BM Hanson and High School. They will be looking for issue and solutions.

The Board continues to ignore community members offers to assist with prior narrative in the Newspaper; yet now they are offering Core Solution access to the school. They appear to want the board to sign off permission to Dr. Luken verses Core Solution reporting their assessment to the board directly.

What happen to the vetting process that Dr. Luken insisted for the taxpayers of Harvey should go through? Are there simple solutions to the problems? Jim has been asking to speak with the board for months. Chairman only gives him comment section for 5 minuets. Core Solution received a lot of time to speak. It is very obvious that Luken and Core Solution spoke about what to tell the board by the question of, did I cover everything?

Taxpayers asked to bring in the school local contractors to asset. Core Solutions states that they will be using local contract if available. Why was the public dismissed? Are the Core Solutions being escorted through the building? The sidewalk repair contractors repaired the sidewalk during school hours. This is showing the public Dr. Luken's and school board ignoring the concerns of the public.

Core Solutions may be an avenue if reports go directly to the board. That is power of the governing board. See Part 3 for the response of the public.
