Where is Mr Thomas and his coconspirator of this lawsuit? Many people were at the public forums not happy with the superintendent but kept saying let the contract expire. But they had to push her out in the way people said would cost us. Are they going to foot the bill? Where are they now that the bill has come due?

Quote:

And, yet, they think citizens should "stay out of their business" and resent it when people demand (beg?) for more accountability and transparency. Seeing how school taxes are likely to double or triple in the very near future, I hope MORE people open their eyes and start clamoring for better results, better stewardship, and more openness. In the absence of that, people should vote in a new BOE altogether, devoid of anyone that has served in it in the past. It's way past due for some improvements and results.

And, if people won't vote for something better, well... then people do deserve to get used and abused via higher taxes due to their indifference or lack of self-interest.

The beleaguered Jersey City Board of Education has settled a lawsuit with its former superintendent for $398,250, according to the settlement agreement.

Marcia Lyles had sued the district last January, saying the school board and the teachers? union impeded her ability to run the school district, defamed her and created a hostile work environment. Lyles was fired in early February 2019.
