Apparently Mr. Schwartz’ humiliation in court has clouded his judgment. Look for a statement (written by Schwartz) “detailing” the reasons for Mr. Burleson’s termination from the school system.

Look for allegations based on a blatant misunderstanding of the purpose and findings of a financial audit.

Look for allegations based on the tardiness of the filing of that audit – when the board majority itself was responsible for the tardiness of that audit.

Look for allegations based on failing to properly budget for the schools, and for failing to demand from county commissioners money from the consent judgments. (We saw this one coming in court – the Judge saw through it and wouldn’t allow testimony on this issue.)

Look for the infamous “East Burke Locker Room” incident. Look for various and sundry accusations of lying. Look for a statement about failing to provide complete information about that incident. (That would be the pot calling the kettle black, Mr. Schwartz .*)

Look for language describing the board’s continued public reference to Mr. Burleson’s past “misdeeds” as “taking the high road.”

Look for a closing paragraph extolling the excitement of hiring a new superintendent and moving forward to a "bright new beginning."

Look for the release of this statement to backfire on the board majority – just one of thousands of miscalculations this board majority has made since its tenure.



*Mr. Schwartz was reprimanded by the NC State Bar for failing to disclose his attorney/client relationship with a school system to students he was investigating and for failing to provide information to the local district attorney about details he learned through that investigation that would constitute felony assault on a student. http://www.ncbar.gov/discipline/actions.asp?page=2&keywords=Covington
By the way, you may want to look up the german definition for "schwartz" for some added pun.
