I Went to the Gilford School Board Meeting Last Night and Gave Them a Present – They Were Not Amused.

New School Year. A new set of meetings. And I went to it.  While not the main topic and reason why I attended was for a redo of  Policy JBAB (Transgender and Non-Conforming Students NonBinary), it is now, yet again, an issue.

Sidenote: And this is the problem with Wokeness – almost every day, the Woke Left has an epiphany of some delusion sort and has to do a re-do of a re-do of yet previous re-dos of changing our language out from underneath us so as to remain with the bounds of today’s/of the hour’s/of the minute’s strict conformance of political correctness.  With one very Woke new School Board member (and another close behind), are they going to be constantly revising the policies so as to remain (to use an OLD word) “hip” and burnishing their Woke street cred?

Anyways, the main reason was to deliver this Right To Know:

Pursuant to the Right to Know Law (RSA. 91-A:4 (I) ), I am demanding access, within 5 business days, to the below enumerated governmental records. Otherwise, if this cannot be fulfilled within that mandated window per RSA 91-A, please advise when the Responsive Records will be made available.

This request is for the Gilford District library’s “card catalog”. This is for any and all books located in the following:

  • District-wide “main” library
  • Each school within the District’s “main” library
  • All classrooms with cataloged books that are tracked by the District.

The information for each Responsive Record shall include:

  • Name of the book
  • Name of the Author(s)
  • Content Summary
  • ISBN identification (or other such designated ID)
  • Name of the School
  • Name/designation of the Classroom within a School

Per RSA 91-A:4 IV(c) If you deny any portion of this request, please cite the specific exemption used to justify the denial to make each record, or part thereof, unavailable for inspection along with a brief explanation of how the exemption applies to the information withheld.

As you are aware, in 2016, the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that a governmental body in possession of records is required to produce them in electronic media using standard common file formats: Green v. SAU #55, 168 N.H. 796, 801 (2016). Unless there is some reason that it is not reasonably practical to produce such, explain why it is not practical to comply.

Please also note, per RSA 91-A:4 III, III-a, and III-b, you are required to maintain the safety and accessibility of such responsive records. This also includes such responsive records (e.g., emails) which may have been deleted from respective Inboxes but are still available on the applicable email server or in your / email host backup system(s).

Please let me know when these records will be sent to me for inspection. You may email the responsive records to me at Skip@GraniteGrok.com. If the volume turns out to be substantial, I have already set up a Dropbox folder to use in uploading those responsive records.

Thank you for your lawful attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Skip Murphy

I handed out hardcopy versions to the Gilford School Board members during the first Public Comment section of the agenda.  A softcopy will be going out to them, as a follow-up, this morning.

So what books DO they have available to OUR children, eh?

Oh, and I hope that with this, Gunstock Area Commissioner Doug Lambert will figure out that I’m not just picking on the GAC…

…well, mostly, anyways.

Heh!
