Dr. Neal responds to comments from Wommack

Superintendent Neal is having to play damage control with comments made by local cult leader Andrew Wommack, who does have quite the following in this town with his bible study school (sorry dude, it’s not a real college). The Pike Peak Courier covers it well in this article.

I call on our school board to issue a resolution condemning the remarks made by Wommack. Rusterholtz is already quoted in that article opposing those statements…but those words are weak, we need a formal resolution from the board to send the proper message to our students and community.

Bye Bye Brovetto

The Gazette has more info on controversial board member Gary Brovetto announcing his desire to resign from the board. You can read the article here. It’ll be discussed and approved (we assume) in a special board meeting being held Wednesday (agenda).

He wrote that he “can no longer continue in this highly stressful hostile environment to be effective as a board member.” It’s not clear if it’s referring to the hostility of David Illingworth as evidenced in the 4/13 board meeting, or the pissed off community members (the latter, I presume).

Considering how Illingworth is absolutely driving the board at the moment with his obsession with Merit Academy it does leave little to no room for issues that Brovetto had previously expressed interest in.
