Selectman Gottlieb indicated he doesn't understand the nature of the conclusion <br /> to not publically release the document and he has concerns regarding the time, pace and nature of this <br /> investigation. In Selectman Gottlieb's estimation,there is indirect concern for the Board of Selectmen <br /> regarding the conduct of employees, and it is the responsibility of the School Committee to ensure the <br /> appropriate behavior of their staff with respect to matters of the general public, and ultimately the <br /> residents and taxpayers of the town. <br /> Selectman Gottlieb further stated the results of the investigation should transpire and the School <br /> Committee should develop conclusions separate from the criminal investigation. <br /> With regards to the long and overdue report, Selectman Gottlieb indicated he does not see the basis <br /> that this is not a document to be made p€ablically available. Selectman Gottlieb asked of the nature of <br /> the reversal position when at their January 6th meeting,the School Committee gave the impression the <br /> report was to be released. Selectman Cotton was in agreement and noted he attended the School <br /> Committee meeting on January 6th, and it was stated the report was to be released as soon as possible. <br /> Mr. McGee denied stating that he intended to release the report as soon as possible. <br /> Mr. McGee indicated the trial date has been rescheduled to February 16th, and there is no urgency to <br /> inform the public. Mr. McGee informed the Board that he is the only person who has read the report. <br /> The School Committee members have not seen the document. Mr.McGee Scott stated he would hold <br /> an executive session if he is able to have a quorum to allow the School Committee members to review <br /> the document,hand delivered and not via email. Mr. McGee stated he would retrieve the copies of the <br /> report when the meeting was over. <br />
