"A comment on Facebook by a Cornish School Board member led to an uproar at Tuesday night\u2019s meeting.Click here to view News 9\u2019s report.A board member posted the remark after a meeting last week when school administrators discussed a proposed policy regarding when infants and toddlers can tag along with school volunteers.Members of the crowd at Tuesday\u2019s meeting said they wanted to talk about the offensive comment school board member Holly Taft made on Facebook after last week\u2019s meeting.\u201CEverybody wants to yell at me for some Facebook comment that was not directed at them,\u201D Taft said.Members of the crowd said the comment was directed at them. The controversy started in March when Kate Barber brought a baby she was caring for to school while she was volunteering and changed a diaper in a classroom.\u201CI am only here for 50 minutes once a week, and not even every week,\u201D Barber said.The superintendent told her she had to stop bringing the baby with her. The board gave preliminary approval to a policy that would keep all volunteers from bringing unenrolled kids with them that aren\u2019t their own. It was a heated topic at last week\u2019s meeting.\u201COur goal was to have that discussed and ask for her resignation from the board,\u201D said Linda Fellows, a Cornish resident.But the discussion never happened. As the board discussed the school\u2019s low enrollment, tempers flared and a school board member called for adjournment.\u201CWe are the taxpayers. We are the ones who support this school. We have a right to talk,\u201D said Jim Barker, a resident.One man said the discussion shouldn\u2019t be about petty differences, but about the kids.\u201CIs getting someone fired from a position that they can\u2019t be fired from really more important than the education of 33 students? I don\u2019t think so,\u201D said Jim Strout of Cornish.The board came back into the room and listened to comments for 10 minutes, but not about the Facebook post."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
