Board 28 accused of violations

By Michelle Han

Old tensions resurfaced on School Board 28 this week as current and former heads flung accusations of wrongdoing at one another during a public meeting Monday night.

For the first time, the board nominated and elected its officers in public, a change in policy that Board President Shirley Huntley said reflected the wishes of the central Board of Education.

But former board member Debra Schaller-Demers lashed out against the board president Monday night, accusing the school board of violating procedures and illegally amending the school board bylaws.
