Have y'all actually listened to the DEC meeting in full? I have.
Dave Lewis of Rochelle did a heck of a job and was as neutral as you can get on something like this. He tried to stick to the facts. It was very obvious that any and all evidence was given to all parties PRIOR to the meeting and that almost NOBODY looked at it prior. He was super patient with the other members to allow them to get through everything. If RS didn't bring any evidence to counter, then that is their fault. They were given everything ahead of time.
As stated above, the case stands on the changed PAPF, the 14 minute call, JB calling the kid back (or not) that day 8/8 (but whatever the case, they spoke more than once that afternoon), the call on 8/10... then stating that there had been no contact prior to enrollment on the PAPF. These are all stated facts.
Now the question around the PAPF -- in my opinion, there are a ton of questions on the PAPF that appear confusing (I know as a parent since my kids needed them to be eligible for their school, which is a magnet program). I get that, but RS has filled these out before. I believe the wording should maybe change, but that's neither here nor there. The bottom line is they knowingly changed it.
As for the phone call(s). No call should be over a minute. Get off the phone, especially if you think you are being set up. JB kept saying he thought he was being set up, but he took the calls and stayed on for 14 minutes. He also likely called back that day. (they went back and forth on whether the later calls that time were incoming or outgoing, I heard it both ways). If JB knew this was going to be part of the record (which he should've because they were sent all evidence) AND he DIDN'T call the kid back, then have that evidence or show it at the meeting. DO NOT CALL a kid that doesn't go to your school, NEVER EVER. Call your Supt and self report. CYA at all costs.
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE CALL WAS ABOUT. GET OFF THE PHONE. No contact prior to enrollment means no contact.
