Is this the extent of HCC’s Affirmative Action plan to prevent discrimination in hiring? Mr. Raburn must be this guy who has any specific affirmative action plan for the hiring of the handicapped that would have been consulted before hiring Linda Kipley’s ill-prepared husband for the job that a handicapped woman was superbly qualified for. Please ask Mr. Raburn if he has that specific affirmative-action plan for the handicapped in addition to this general and generally disregarded statement plastered hither and yon. Ask him how the school hiring protocol allows the superintendent to hire without advertising the jobs in administration particularly. Ask him what school rule overrides the Federal government in equal opportunity in the hiring of administrators. Thank you. Lee

The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, marital status, disability, or age in its programs, services, activities or in its hiring and employment practices. School Board Policy 6.01 ensures equal opportunity for all in its personnel policies and practices.

The following person has been designated to handle inquiries regarding the non-discrimination guidelines: Charles W. Raburn, General Manager of Employee Relations and Equity Coordinator. 813-272-4227, charles.raburn@sdhc.k12.fl.us

Thank you. I am sorry to cause you extra work, but my husband required my attention last meeting.

Isn’t Mr. Valdez the head of personnel? And what is the name of the woman whom Ms. Elia put in Dr. Gregor’s spot when he left? I would like to see her personell folder. ldd

Yes, we had the travel information here the last board meeting because you had said you were attending. I'll gather it again for the Sept. 4 meeting.

Who do you mean when you refer to Mr. Valdez?

Linda, I have asked before to see the travel folio of the school board when I come in next to a board meeting. Whenever that is, I will come by before going to the board room. I also want to see the Wynn Tye personnel folder at the same time. I believe she is the replacement for Dr. Gregor.

I have asked you for the affirmative action plan required for handicapped workers that Executive Order ll246 requires. I haven’t got a reply yet. I imagine Mr. Valdez knows where it is because he himself may have written it. If the schools do not have this required affirmative action plan for contractors, then tell me that. Thank you. Lee
