Maplewood HS has two Metro police officers on duty and they were immediately made aware of the accusations. But that withstanding, I don’t understand Ms. Shepherd’s desire to speak out on these allegations while legal action is still pending, and she admittedly is not fully informed on the situation. In the article, Ms. Shepherd notes the plethora of lawsuits and admits there may be issues beyond sufficient training, and she pledges to ask Joseph about what can be done during the board’s Tuesday night meeting.

There are 5 lawsuits that have been filed in the last two months, and she’s just now getting around to asking Joseph about them? This is very similar to the case of high levels of lead in MNPS schools’ drinking water. It took multiple reports from Phil Williams at Channel 5 News before Shepherd broached the subject on the board floor. And then, it was only briefly, with no follow-up. I would strongly argue that a school board chair should be well briefed on these incidents as they are developing and not wait until they reach crisis level before asking questions. I also think that when making statements like, “If a seasoned educator didn’t do something he was supposed to do, can you imagine what a new or newer educator might or might not do?” they should be well versed in the case. Our principals are already in a precarious enough position in these types of incidents, and by all indications have followed the rules of the law, there is no justifiable reason to turn them into punching bags just because you haven’t done your due diligence.

Furthermore, I would suggest that when asked to comment about ongoing litigation, school board members heed the words of Ben Franklin: “Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.”
