The School Board's Desperate Measures to Thwart Justice!!!

The school board has filed a motion in December of 1998 for Judge Toth to excuse himself from our case because one of Doctor Winan's patients is Judge Toth's mother. Their argument is that this constitutes a conflict of interest for Judge Toth. Cut me some slack!

Their real agenda is and always has been to delay and continually increase the cost of this judicial action to make it financially prohibitive for us. We have already spent $7100 (as of January, 98) and this latest action on their part will run up the cost another $1500 or more and could delay a decision at least 2 months! (As of May, 99 it looks like it will cause at least a 7 month delay!!!)

The School Board knows they cannot win their case on its merits so they are pulling any legal maneuver they can to delay the inevitable and/or make us cry financial uncle. To further prove the point, what was the purpose of appealing the temporary injunction last May? That appeal has minimal relevance on the outcome of this case. It only served to save face for bruised egos and run up our legal bill.

Every parent in this district has a right to seek judicial review of the decisions of this nature made by this Board of Education. I believe the School Board is confused. I believe, they think that this is the Baghdad Public School System.
