Reply to comment by Frelling_Dren in Does anyone know what Chesterfield County School Board's "Faith Leader Meetings" are about? I asked for info and got stonewalling hard. by HRPuffnGiger

Hey, thanks for the info! When I first learned of them, I had requested to get on to the Faith Leaders mailing list, so I could attend and learn more, and I received a reply saying if im not a minister or pastor, I cant be on the list, but I can go read ccps announcements on their social media lol.

Being stonewalled was odd and u settling. Thanks for the info!

Just as an fyi, any time 3 or more board members are anywhere together, you have a legal right to be there. Even if it’s at one of their homes and regardless of the time of day.

I can’t speak to whether more than two attended the event, but if it was noticed, then you can attend. If you requested to attend a noticed meeting or event and were told no, then they broke the law, full stop.

If I was still there and found out that someone requested to attend and was told no, even if only one board member attended, I would have pushed back hard behind closed doors. That response is insane (but not surprising, unfortunately) to me, and that’s the sort of stuff that pisses people off.

As I told merv on several occasions, “you can’t get mad at the other team for capitalizing on an unforced error.”

Seriously, why is Merv still around? He’s already retired from his previous job in Delaware and CCPS is sorely in need of fresh blood for leadership.

RPS has a similar meeting. It is focused on outreach. How can RPS family liaisons work with faith leaders to get in to the community to discuss importance of attendance, to offer resources available in RPS, to offer numbers to call if families need help with transportation etc.
