Will pair try and falsify documents, records?

Branden Durst's new board clerk, Brandy Paradee, started working Thursday, July 6. He personally appointed her to the position, unbeknownst to the school board, because he stated he "needs someone in there that will do what he says." Someone who has openly been against our schools. Shaming parents and spreading false information in a district she doesn't even live in. Her contract was approved on a temporary 30-day basis. She is also not to be given access to employee files, personal information, or other sensitive documents until she passes a background check.

Fast forward to Thursday, July 13, one week later — our district office employees were notified that they are no longer employed by the district. Key cards are deactivated and they are terminated.

Do you think we're stupid? Mr. Durst and Ms. Paradee are now the only people at the district office and we're supposed to trust them? Just a coincidence that this happens at the same time the forensic audit is approved? I don't think so. They are not there in good faith. Fake documents and information for the forensic audit to "discover" are being planted.

You all cry "forensic audit" until you're blue in the face. The problem is, it may include falsified documents by your trusted new district office employees. That's a felony.
