Do the issues have merit?

Thanks for your response! What did Batiste tell you about being recorded? Did he tell you that he was told in writing over and over that all of our future conversations would be recorded? Did he tell you that when he spoke with me he had a tape recorder with the red light on pointed at him? Did he tell you that he volunteered his information knowing that he was being recorded? Did you know it was an open meeting?

Who's lying? Is it Batiste blaming the board? Or is it Hawn stating they support Batiste 100% - blaming the board? Say what you will but one of them is lying!

Have you asked Hawn or Batiste who's lying? Even more importantly, does it matter who is lying? If Batiste was lying in an official matter involving violations of district policy, state law and federal law - do you really care why he lied? If Hawn was lying in an official matter involving violations of district policy, state law and federal law - do you really care why he lied? Is there anything that justifies lying in an official matter before them?

Batiste had the opportunity in a recording that he KNEW would be going public and would be used against him to say anything that he chose to say, give any excuse that he could think of, make up anything that he wanted to, including saying NOTHING or REFUSING to answer and he chose to say, "I TRIED" and blamed the board for the continuing violations of district policy, state law and federal law because HE TRIED TO STOP IT! And then by some miracle Hawn says that Batiste just lied because, "they support Batiste 100%". One of them is lying.

Thanks again for your input!
