30. Rescind emergency authorization to School Board Attorney to file petition for injunction against Reverend Baker
Attachment: CVZItem.pdf
Minutes: 

Frank Farrell motioned to amend the motion and moved to strike the language to rescind the Board action of 11/22/11 and substitute the following:  The Board will instruct the Board Attorney to temporarily withhold serving Rev. Baker with a notice of filing for injunctive relief as authorized by the Board at its 11/22/11 meeting.  Such temporary action to be predicated on the following: 1) Rev. Baker will sign a document with the School Board essentially agreeing to all the terms of the resolution originally agreed to on 10/11/11, such document to be executed no later than 12/23/11; 2) Rev. Baker will abide by that agreement in its entirety and will not reverse his position on any point; 3) Rev. Baker will not incur any additional trespass warnings by entering upon a school campus except as authorized, in writing, by the school principals, which will be forthcoming; 4) Both parties will extend best efforts to avoid disseminating information that might further inflame public opinion for or against, and both parties agree to extend best efforts to avoid any initiatives to politicize the issue.  Lengthy discussion ensued.  Mr. Farrell's amended motion was seconded by Janice Kerekes.  Discussion continued on the motion.  Frank Farrell agreed, that if upon taking Reverend Baker at his word, he will not enter upon the school grounds of  Lake Asbury Elementary, Clay Hill Elementary, Charles E. Bennett Elementary or any other Clay County elementary school campus for any purpose and will enter upon the grounds of Shadowlawn Elementary only for matters pertaining to his grandson's education, he would withdraw his amended motion. 

Mr. Farrell withdrew his motion to amend the motion to rescind.  Mrs. Kerekes withdrew her second.

Mr. Farrell called for the question.  Vote was taken and action was brought back to the original item.
