Dr Keeler recognizes his error in judgement, so states in public and in particular to Seth Raphael. He futher promises not to make such statements in the future. Dr Markoe submits a recommendation to the Board of Education to issue a Letter of Reprimand to Dr. Keeler and the Board of Education, in public session, passes a motion to that effect. Seth Raphael accepts the above action as appropriate to the situation. Dr Keeler gets back to his job as Principal of Jefferson High School which seems to me to be a big job which needs a lot of attention, particularly if the glimpse that I got at the Board of Health report on the High School is a true indicator of the conditions out there.
Empty contrition is an abomination.
Now I am aware that I am sticking my nose in pretty far. But it seems to me that somebody needs to propose a way out of this mess without further damage to careers and the general state of education in Jefferson County. To the many people who have shown their support in my attempt to have the graduation ceremony of Jefferson High School addressed, thank you. The number and quality of the responses far surpassed any expectations I had. From both religious, and non religious people, I received congratulations and letters of support.
