To the Editor:

After sorting through all of the noise and red herrings from last week’s Board of Education (BOE) meeting, I’m left with one question: Why won’t Frank Chmiel waive his right to privacy? To be certain, he doesn’t “owe” anyone that but if there’s no “there” there this seems like the best and most transparent course of action. This would free the BOE to put their cards on the table and for better or worse, we (the community) could judge their reasoning in plain sight.

What I heard from Mr. Chmiel’s supporters on Tuesday night was that they wanted TRANSPARENCY. They can get it pretty easily if Mr. Chmiel waives his right to privacy in this instance. Frankly I wonder why his supporters aren’t encouraging him to do so — instead of demonizing the BOE and Dr. Kelley. Shrug…
