HSE Board members Sarah Parks-Reese and Sarah Donsbach deserve a highlight today. They ALWAYS have the best interests of our teachers, ALL students, and schools in mind. They voted YES yesterday for Dr. Stokes to get the compensation she deserves. They LOVE HSE and the teachers.
After tonight's HEPL meeting, the Barnes & Thornberg lawyers submitted notice that they will no longer represent the HEPL Library Board after August 31. Question... if your lawyer's ethics and integrity are so low they have to quit the library board...
Tiffany Pascoe MUST resign from the HSE School Board. She made the decision to slander Katy Dowling and Dr. Stokes at last night's board meeting. Dr. Stokes now has cause to sue HSE for breech of contract. Ms. Thomas and Ms. Pascoe also voted NO to our budget. 🤯 See link below.
Not only did Tiffanie start Fishers One, but she is also a proud member of Moms for Liberty... a hate group. I would LOVE to support more women and diversity in leadership positions in Fishers. However, I can not and will not vote for someone linked to so many hateful people.
Get to know Tiffanie Ditlevson’s Fishers One GOP group. They disrupt our city.
They applaud the embarrassing, extreme, expensive teen library book policy and whine about the HSE School Referendum Renewal, which is crucial for our community and
Sweet, sweet, anonymous mountainman. THANK YOU for giving my profile and post added attention. I appreciate your help with bringing attention to the fact that members of our school board are more concerned about their own children's comfort than protecting ALL the kids of HSE.
DO NOT waste my time coming to meetings screaming and yelling about God and the Bible... and then post hateful crap like this. THIS is NOT Christianity. THIS is disgusting, childish, and hateful behavior. But please, tell me why Life Church is superior to the rest...
Please explain..what about Equity Coaches at HSE schools making sure ALL kids get the support they need is so offensive? Why is educating kids about the differences in cultures so threatening to your "Midwest Values"? Pretty words again today,ugly actions yet again. Ben and Tiff?
Fishers Democrats are ALL IN on Public Education! They have our kids' backs and have voted YES! for our referendum! Please join them and thousands of my friends in supporting HSE schools on Nov 7! Our kids are counting on us! Vote Early at Holland or Billericay Fri/Sat 10-2pm!!
Irony is posting about our outstanding teachers while abstaining from supporting a referendum that is vital to their and our schools' continued success. It's become very clear this board member doesn't understand her job. Also, making a post doesn't support teachers...

Christine Altman moves to call Ray Maddalone and Micah Beckwith in for an executive session to express their expectations of their appointees for the HEPL board. Altman expresses the board has gotten out of control and has divided the community in an ugly way.

#HamCo
Nope. You don't get to force Dr. Stokes to resign and then make her the scapegoat for all the bad decisions you have made and missed legal advice. (Which is shocking with him on speed dial) This is an example of focusing on an ugly agenda rather than learning your job first.
Another public embarrassment by the HSE School Board Members who ran on “transparency”. The Board’s attorney, Chris Greisl and President Dawn Lang blaming it on (former) Superintendent Dr. Stokes is beyond offensive. Not surprising in the least, but still offensive…

...Chris Greisl, a lawyer employed by you, breaks the law TWICE with the LIBRARY BOARD. An institution that is traditionally non-political, and requires little legal counsel. What do we think he is up to with our HSE School Board? Not a good look for a law firm.
Looks like the Public Access Counselor ruled the previous HEPL board majority violated Open Door Law twice in the past few weeks. My complaint about the coffee shop meeting hasn’t been posted online get, but I received a copy today (cont.)

I came across this interesting graphic from my Fishers One friends this morning. They have the fear mongering down! Keep in mind... the last mask mandates came from the current mayor, who has no competition in this race. Nice redirection, though.
Due to fear mongering and misinformation, Equity has become a term used to divide our community when it actually encompasses us all. For Educational Equity, schools provide avenues for ALL kids to ensure students are academically and socially successful.

I might have accidentally called him Dr. Spock in my public comment... 😬 However, he had no reason to be given a platform beyond the 3 minute public comment we were given. He was in no way censored, and he isn't even a credible authority on children's mental health. Nice try tho
1-He got to speak just like other community members.
2-Not board certified, not even eligible for board certification. Not his area of expertise(he really doesn’t have one), never finished a residency program,spread misinformation during Covid.

I just hope they can make the connection that Chris Greisl, the library's council, is also the lawyer for HSE school board. He is playing the same kind of games with FOIA requests that he did with the library. What other suspicious behaviors have we not caught, any coffee chats?
I am proud to stand up for our schools, educators, libraries, or students against hateful agendas and rhetoric. I am NOT afraid of online bullies, and they are wasting their time coming for me... our community and the leaders of these organizations deserve love and respect.

@TheTonus
OMG, Tony! THANK YOU for bringing SO MUCH attention to the mockery Tiffany Pascoe is making of the LEGALLY BINDING contract HSE's school board entered with Dr. Stokes. I LOVE that you are trying to discredit me, but dear child, there is no denying slander when it is REAL slander.
They are against everything their Moms 4 Liberty member colleagues are doing to sabotage our referendum and schools. Please don't include them when discussing the ugly behaviors of the other 5. They are loving, affirming humans who actually want HSE to thrive & vote to prove it.

@ScottFadness
You're right, Mayor Fadness. It was good to be present and in the moment for the kids in our schools last night! However, in the light of day, we still have a school board represented by your friend, Chris Greisl, who, together, are making decisions that hurt kids in our schools.
You are so "bad" and so "scary" typing YOUR hate on your phone. Making it so I can't find your account to reply. See, MM, I am NOT the hateful one. I can also use my identifiable profile to post because I am not ashamed of my words... and I know I'm on the right side of history.
Would you look at that!? The anonymous MM popped on my post today. See comments for my response. Microaggression policies are not about hating the white kids; they never were. It's about helping educate the white kids so they can be better humans than the generation before them.
@leftyindiana2
Definitely not a rumor... she was very clear as she bragged to a news reporter. I believe it was WTHR, and they quoted her anonymously for fear of retaliation. Advice... if you are on the right side of history... you wouldn't have to fear showing your face as you say those words.
Mind blown. She is always trying to insinuate the HSE staff has some scheme to hurt kids... when it's her votes or "abstains" that do that. HSE Educators LOVE our kids. ALL our kids.
Pascoe asks if we talk about suicide so much that it gives kids the idea that it’s an option. Kirwan says that the data does NOT show that talking about suicide puts the idea in someone’s mind.
As always with this school board... their private F1 agenda concerns me. They have been concerned about their "Midwest values", and having a diverse admin team. Here we are with Dr. Stokes' contract up for renewal, and Dr. Pettigrew and Mr. Lake's contracts "on hold"...
The school district budget is millions of dollars more than the library... and the legal fees were $25,000 last month. That is some seriously expensive coffee.
"Say it louder."
REAL leaders don't antagonize. They de-escalate and provide space for conversation and listening. They are not afraid of criticism and surely don't command the police when not truly needed.

to pay for hate and fear mongering mailers and hateful, lying text messages IS spreading HATE though.
A little truth serum along with a little crazy being shared in Fishers One. Are they scared? Yes, they are. Did Ben Orr like a post calling the left/dems insane and hateful? Yes he did. Does he represent all students, parents and teachers? No. He doesn’t.
In the last board meeting, Ben also had a tantrum over the hiring/replacement of Equity Coaches in the schools. He was prepared to deny the hiring of desperately needed educators because he doesn't understand why people deserve to be treated fairly... and supported as they need.
Soo...Laura showed poor leadership and policy making skills as Library Board president...then she decides to take that level of inadequacy and law breaking behavior deeper into our state politics? Seems... appropriate?? And NOT someone Indiana needs in a power position. Just NO.
Laura Alerding, former HEPL board member and coffee shop mtg ODL violator, filed to run for District 29 State Rep. I guess the library board fiasco(and not being reappointed) wasn’t enough of a message from the community for her.
Sarah Donsbach took time to breakdown the REAL time/effort that's been put into our referendum. Pascoe wouldn't know since she works against it and has done NOTHING to help our schools. She can kiss a future in politics goodbye with this ugly decision.

DEI is NOT just about race. Dr. Pettigrew was NOT trying to recruit Black families or educators to come to HSE, though I see NO issue with either of those groups feeling represented and more comfortable here. It is clear the issue is NOT admin "bloat"... it's racism and hate.
When your response to Pettigrew leaving shows that you think DEI is just about increasing diversity in the district and you’ve been fighting against that, your racism is showing.

I’m ready to issue a retraction & apology for proof that it was not sent by anyone they’re affiliated with.
Dawn Lang has earned some respect for engaging others in F1 to explain the referendum and shutting down their attempts to intentionally mislead others. Given the fact she has a front row seat to the FACTS of the budget and accounts, F1 needs to put their fingers down and LISTEN.

Welcome to my anonymous cheer section, Ranger Rick. This community deserves better than some angry keyboard warriors trying to tear it apart. So, I will continue sharing my rainbows and PRIDE, Be Kind messages, and BLACK LIVES MATTER love so ALL people know they are welcome here.

First of all, Tiffanie is a Black woman, but she prefers to be called Brown. No one is defaming her. Her choices & actions are her own problem. We didn't create them for her. We will surely make the community aware of them, though, since she is desiring to be a leader of Fishers.

Concerns about recruiting from HBCUs, clear issues with diversity hiring
Pushing through a preplanned agenda to remove microaggressions from handbook
Forcing resignation of Dr. Stokes, and playing games with Dr. Pettigrew's job/contract

Caring for, protecting, and loving kids should not be and is not political. Protecting kids from unintentional or intentional racism or prejudices in school is not political. Educating kids about racism and the real, ugly history of our country is not political. Love ALL kids.
Interestingly, Todd Zimmerman and Cecilia Coble were able to get elected in the last election without being backed by hate groups or hateful community members. A Micah Beckwith endorsement is gross, but surely Todd can say no thanks so we know he is a safe vote for Fishers.
I'm also not hearing it from her political allies or the trolls on here. She is NOT ready to lead our city, especially after the mess she happily and excitedly created with our libraries. Get. Out. Of. Here. With. Your. Hate.

So interesting... This couldn't possibly have been a political stunt... could it!?! *GASP* But WAIT... the library board ISN'T political! So, why is it being used that way? You don't get to create and lead Fishers One, join the hate group Moms 4 Liberty and then try to fool us...
