In a stunning blow to the attempts by some community members to cause disruption for board of education members, the case filled by Carol Gillen, a negative thorn in the side of the board, has been dismissed, again. After the initial appeal to have Dr. Mauro removed was dismissed, Gillen, who could not accept defeat, appealed the verdict, only to have it dismissed again. In an email statement released shortly after the ruling was announced, Dr. Mauro said the following:
" I have been informed today that the commissioner has refused to reopen
her case against me. His action is the final chapter in this matter. I
always have questioned her motivation for initiating this legal action, and
believe that she was advised wrongly to start these proceedings."
Hopefully the remaining hate-filled community members will learn a lesson from this and stop their polarizing actions. Maybe now we can move forward in the hopes of bettering the lives of our most precious asset: our children.
