WPSD board member Gary Brovetto

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.

Gary Brovetto submits resignation letter

This letter went out this afternoon:

“Greetings, Staff of the Woodland Park School District, 

We want to make you aware that yesterday afternoon, Director Gary Brovetto delivered his letter of resignation to the District office as it is his wish to resign from the Board of Education effective immediately. We wanted to take a moment as a leadership team to thank Mr. Brovetto for his efforts in leading on the WPSD board, hours of dedicated time, and his specific support of our exchange students over the years.

As we look ahead, Mr. Brovetto’s resignation will be presented to the Board of Education in a special meeting on the 20th of April. Following this meeting, a Resolution to Declare the Vacancy will need to be approved by the Board, which is anticipated in the coming weeks. 

Please continue to check back on the homepage of WPSD for any updates to this message. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. Mathew Neal     
Woodland Park Superintendent of Schools “

The board will be meeting April 20th to discuss this, along with presumably the Merit Contract in executive session (link to agenda).
