Citizens For Balance and Integrity our School District (CFBISD)

The purpose of CFBISD Network is to bring balance and greater Integrity to our school district, Carrollton Farmers Branch Independent School District. One Dictionary defines balance as “a state in which various parts form a satisfying and harmonious whole and nothing is out of proportion or unduly emphasized at the expense of the rest.” Balance in a school district requires that all parties: parents, teachers, students, administrators, and others have an opportunity to influence the governance of the school district.

Open Letter to Board of Trustees -- Investigation Needed

Members of the Board of Trustees ,   I call upon you to review the video of the September 10th  meeting:  The  motion made by Mr. Shor was:

"In light of the pending election -- four candidates are spending money, expending efforts, expending resources -- and to prevent the voters and the community members of this district from being disenfranchised, it would be my suggestion that the board's attorneys in the lawsuit pending in Judge Molberg's court be authorized to take the requisite action to obtain a legally final decision as expeditiously as possible."

By voting for this motion the board approved..that   " it would be Frank Shor’s suggestion that the board's attorneys in the lawsuit pending in Judge Molberg's court be authorized to take the requisite action to obtain a legally final decision as expeditiously as possible."

Clearly by adopting this motion , the board of trustees, regardless of its intentions, did NOT authorize any action by anyone, at anytime.

The board needs to investigate why the motion reported in the minutes  does not match the video of the meeting, so this error could have been corrected in a timely matter.  I would strongly suggest all notes, preliminary minutes, requested corrections or changes by board members be secured by the superintendent of schools until the board can convene in public session to investigate why the material discrepancy exists.
