1)The Medford School Committee cannot be trusted to do the right thing, they are so caught up in
Roy E. Belson's web of lies
2)Is
Mr. Belson "pushing the goal posts" back as TV3 did because the school
doesn't want to show the residents ALL of the financial data? Roy
Belson is hiding behind Melanson Heath & Co PC when citizens want an
outside auditor to look at the books. It is only fair. Why are Van
der Kloot and Belson oh so defensive? If they have nothing to hide,
why all their mud-flinging?
"I
know you're frustrated" Van der Kloot said to me at a school committee
meeting. Yes, Paulette, when elected officials lie and cheat and
possibly worse, it is frustrating. Your admission is noted.
The
school committee seems to fear Roy E. Belson - indict the ones elected
prior to Nov. 3 and have a grand jury ask the tough questions. Some of
these individuals are just plain disgusting and they think they are
going to get away with it. So did Bob Covelle at Medford Housing
Authority, didn't he?
So didn't the late Stanley Komins at West Medford Hillside Little League
3)Jenna Tarabelsi and Mark Smith - were these cases fully investigated?
4)The teacher no longer employed as of June 30, 2015. A year ago. What happened? Teacher was allegedly a coach.
5)Now
rumors are circulating of yet another coach and alleged hanky panky.
The teacher is currently still employed according to the city website.
Rumors are buzzing around the school...
And
Paulette Van der Kloot is channeling Ron DeLucia and Harvey Alberg at
TV3 ..."nothing there...move along...what? You want to see our books and
meeting minutes? You don't trust us?"
It's hard to trust pathological liars caught red-handed at the city council
Did Pennsylvania school leaders look the other way as teachers preyed?
The new internal investigation is fueled by a scathing grand jury report
released May 19 by the Allegheny County district attorney’s office. The
report highlights changes in state law since the Jerry Sandusky child
sex abuse scandal at Penn State University and makes the general point
that Glasspool, Kociela, and perhaps other teachers and administrators
may not have broken the law by failing to report rumors of
teacher-student relationships under old standards, but might have been
prosecuted under newer, stricter guidelines.

PLUM, Pa. —
The legal and emotional casualties keep piling up in a Pittsburgh
suburb where two high school teachers have pleaded guilty to having sex
with students, a third is awaiting trial and a fourth is charged with
trying to intimidate one student victim by pointing her out in class.
"Yo don’t deserve to be at my graduation,” Plum High School senior (class president?) Sylvia
Ankrom told Superintendent Timothy Glasspool at a school board meeting
last week. “We don’t want you there. Don’t show up.”
That appears to be a moot point now that the school board has placed
Glasspool and Ryan Kociela, principal of the 4,100-student district’s
only high school, on paid leave and hired a law firm to investigate
whether they and possibly other employees should be fired.
