You should also include that Matt offered to keep the fundraiser night but it was YOUR choice not to. So you didn’t want to support the schools or the scholarship programs? It seems to be your way or the highway here. Matt was offering to help our schools — our entire school system with donations from his company and you turned him down? Yeah it really is all about the children isn’t it?

I’m not sure what you mean by us “racking up the police reports”. Our efforts are completely for the schools. We believe that the best course of action is for this board to no longer be in power, and part of that is that Dr. Williams is the best superintendent for the township for the immediate future.

We have always stated that any money left over from our efforts would be donated back to PTEF or other school organizations.

And you are wrong. Matt wanted to help THE SCHOOLS. Matt didn’t want to help your organization after finding out what your organization was about-and yes I am one who spoke to him about it as well as “many others”–His own words. It was your organization’s choice to cancel the event AFTER he stated that he would give the money DIRECTLY to the schools. That’s the sad part of all of this. You won’t let the fundraiser be for the children? You won’t let the fundraiser help our schools? our sports clubs? But if the $$ is going to your organization, then you’re all for it. That is horrible and truly shows that you ARE NOT in it for the kids as you like to claim.

“After Monday night’s meeting, I was afraid that if he was connected to our group in any way, even raising money directly for the schools, he would feel pressure from the ever present “vocal minority”, i.e. the majority board members and their families.”

Is quite hilarious as this was decided BEFORE THE MEETING Monday evening!! Get your lies straight before you post them.

I’m sure the owner didn’t realize the magnitude of the situation into which he was about to become enbroiled. Once he realized he might alienate potential customers, I’m sure he wanted nothing to do with the situation.

While I appreciate TBPS’s efforts overall, I think you were way off base on this one. Funds for TBPS should be raised from group members only.

I believe that Chick-Fil-A did what was best for their organization. I respect their decision.

I do believe that a business person would have to have their head stuck deep in the sand to not realize what Take Back Perry Schools represents. What I would find is more believable was that he had no idea the hostility that he would so openly receive. Unless you have witnessed it, which I have, it is unimaginable. Who would ever think that people would act this way!

You say you’re sick of lies and half-truths, and that yours is an honest and knowledgeable attitude. Well, here’s an honest and knowedgable opinion for you:

I am sick and tired of watching these four people operate in complete disregard of the by-laws and code of ethics in place for the protection of all involved. I am sick and tired of people accusing this administration of wrongdoing and refusing to show proof positive. I am sick and tired of these four board members having no idea what the limits of their authority are outside the boardroom. I am sick and tired of watching hours and hours of work on relationships accomplished by previous board members and administrators compromised by four people who do not understand the scope of their authority. I am sick and tired of these four people refusing to communicate or mediate. I am sick and tired of the constant reminder that with every legal filing, new lawyer and basically every NEW DAY, this situation is costing innocent taxpayers money, causing parents anguish and costing the township respect. And I am sick and tired of people who truly have no intention of being objective or have no real experience or knowledge of the proper protocol with regard to this situation posting comments that only show how clueless they really are.

These four people mishandled the situation from the start, and the fact that many in the community have zero respect for them and want them removed from office is because of their own behavior.
I am sick and tired of them not recognizing and taking responsibility for their own actions.

Yes, the school system will continue on, with or without Dr. Williams, but much damage has been done - whether he stays or goes, MSDPT School Board has suffered a huge loss of respect solely because of the way this was handled, and the sad part is that it was completely avoidable.

So there you go - no lies, no half truths. My honest and knowledgeable attitude. It has nothing to do with Dr. Williams, but has everything to do with following the rules and giving due process - it just so happens to be exactly what Dr. Williams is fighting for. Sounds fair to me, how about you?

What else would you like to ask? The balance in the account? How odd that you demand detailed information but refuse to disclose your identity.

If you would like additional information you can contact Todd Rokita’s office at 232-6531. You can also check www.in.gov for information. It will direct you to the Secretary of State’s website. Hope this information helps you.

In regards to Teri M., unfortunately I have found that I do not trust her nor respect her. That is not meant to be a put down to Teri in any way. That is my opinion and because I do not trust nor respect her, I cannot easily have a civilized conversation with her so I choose to not do so anymore. Simple as that.
