PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Wayne Williams, 113 Garfield Ave o Is Board ok with bullying? Feels that wife, who is an aide, has been bullied. She doesn t feel safe in the classroom. She has been wronged. She spoke with her boss and was told to take time off, she is now seeing a counselor. Went to Disneyworld while off on medical leave. Was planning on taking time off anyway. Dr. Kramer has not been in classroom to investigate. She was suspended but did not read the letter carefully and reached out to a BOE member. Was then disciplined and is now going to arbitration. They saw an attorney but don t want to go that route. Feel free to contact my wife, Heather Williams for more information. TJ Hill, 155 ½ Main St o Grew up in London, and wants to voice concerns about baseball program. Is very concerned about how players are being developed. He is aware of what talent looks like. He sees kids doing batting practice together. Another concern is the cussng, not just from coaches but players. He feels it is a direct reflection of their coach. Other items of concern, the baseball coach blames other coaches and slammed down an Ipad and broke it in front of kids. Mr. Hill teaches private lessons to many students who aren t getting proper coaching. He recently joined LABC to help correct that. He is here for the kids. 3978
Jason Moore, 2150 St Rt 187 o Class of 1991, NHS member, played Varsity baseball at London. Has observed our program and has a son on the 7 th grade team. Has had parents reach out to him and he sent a letter to Dr. Kramer(read letter to Board). Received a response from Dr. Kramer and reached out to Mr. Wolverton.

Thought he had an understanding with Mr. Wolverton but did not. IX.
