The Truth Shall Set You Free!

Our Massillon Board of Education met tonight to discuss the renewal of a school levy, and the possible disciplinary action of a school employee, believed by many to be Superintendent Lisa Carmichael.

According to today's Independent, "In other business, the board adjourned into executive session, but took no action. It is believed the board met to discuss Superintendent Lisa Carmichael's outburst against board member Marshall Weinberg at the July 7th meeting in which she repeatedly called Weinberg a derogatory term."

Lisa Carmichael used a slang term to infer that Marshall Weinberg was "the opening at the end of one's digestive tract used to control the expulsion of feces."

As no action was taken, that probably means three of our school board members, most likely Tom Seesan, Gary Miller, and Vicki Becherucci had the common sense to let this issue die. Perhaps they believed that Carmichael has indeed been punished enough by having to work for Marshall Weinberg. Maybe they believed Carmichael to have been truthful, and that they too believe Marshall Weinberg to be "the opening at the end of one's digestive tract used to control the expulsion of feces." Perhaps they are just as tired of Weinberg's self serving antics as Carmichael is. Maybe they knew what was really going on. That this ruse was merely an opportunity to "pay back" Carmichael for not getting on board with the "Football First" plan, and allowing the "Friends of the Program" to run Washington High School athletics.

The truth is, many people think Marshall is an ***hole, and has no business running our schools. A number of people probably believe Carmichael merely called him out.
