Ms. Bradford’s OPRA Custodian Vote: Super Secret Information & One More Business Assistant

In this clip, BOE Member Gale Bradford claims that she was “on the other side” of the OPRA Custodian issue (there does not appear to be any public record of statements from her confirming this).

She then claims that she received “new information” that was not available to her as a member of the public that caused her to change her mind. This “new information” that only BOE Members appear to have, compelled her to add a THIRD position to the business office to help with OPRA Requests despite the overwhelming evidence refuting Dr. Varley’s claim that the District was inundated.

So it’s great that Dr. Varley and the Business office answered Ms. Bradford’s questions, but why can’t the public hear this new version of why the Business Administrator needs a third Assistant?

Why won’t the Administration or Ms. Bradford provide this information to the parents who asked her?

The thinking and explanation behind this vote does very little to increase confidence that Ms. Bradford is going to be any different than the majority.
