From News & Observer education reporter Keung Hui comes this blog about Wake school board member Beverley Clark and comments Hui says she made last week about other board members and the board’s new ethics policy. From the N&O blog (emphasis is mine):
Among the 12 points, board members shall “render all decisions based on the available facts and independent judgment and refuse to surrender that judgment to individuals or special interest groups.”
There’s no penalty for violating any part of the policy.
Interestingly during last week’s committee of the whole discussion, Beverley Clark said that board members have engaged in actions that would violate the new code. When asked afterward, she declined to elaborate on her statement.
Publicly questioning colleagues’ ethics is serious business. If the N&O reporter’s blog is accurate, then residents of Wake County deserve details from Ms. Clark.
Ms. Clark: Who and what are you talking about?
