IX. Public Hearing on a Resolution to bar a spectator from attendance at extra-curricular events for one calendar year - Called to order at 6:20 p.m. and lasted approximately 10 minutes. At issue - the disrespectful and reckless behavior of a spectator at a high school athletic event on January 31st (including almost hitting a parking attendant with an automobile while driving away.) One BOE member called for a more extreme punishment - permanent disbarment - to demonstrate support of the police...that the police might choose NOT to come back to future athletic events unless extreme action was taken against the spectator in question. The other BOE members indicated that they appreciated and wanted police supervision at games, but that their policy speicified a punishment - a one year disbarment.

1. Resolution to bar a Spectator from attendance - Superintendent Whitledge read the resolution. A motion was made, seconded, and approved by a 3-1 vote to bar the spectator in question for a period of one year. (The one vote against was by the BOE member who wanted permanent disbarment.)
