The following article, written by Klaus Gaebel, is reprinted from The Post Star, 11-22-07 edition Tempers Flare at BOE Meeting  By Klaus Gaebel--Post Star   The November 13th school board meeting saw tempers flare on several occasions. Board president Don Tucker at one point vowed to restore order by calling police if necessary. Here, trustee Terry Parisian stands during oneof the incidences.   School board President Don Tucker had his hands full at the monthly Board of Education meeting on November 13th, threatening at one point to call police to restore order. With board protocol and policy calling for the president to give the floor to board members to speak, interrupting members is frowned upon. Tempers flared a number of times during the meeting, usually when interruptions occurred. Tucker rebuked board member Terry Parisian on several occasions. At another point in the meeting, Tucker admonished an audience member, hoping to prevent any further disturbances. His indignation appeared aimed at former school board member and president Vince Buono, who left his seat and moved to the rear of the meeting hall as Tucker voiced his displeasure. Transcripts follow of four separate incidences. INCIDENT # 1 Tucker: Let me back up. Any further discussion? Brennan: [inaudible comments correcting Tucker's procedural error about a motion to table] Tucker: Nobody wants to say anything? Brennan: [inaudible] Tucker: Thanks for reminding me Mr. Brennan. I don't hear from you all month, but I hear from you a lot here when I need to be corrected. Thank you. Thank you. Brennan: You're welcome.   INCIDENT # 2 Tucker: Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Parisian: I'm sick and tired of Mr. Heidcamp shooting his mouth off. [inaudible] Tucker: You're out of order again. Parisian: Good, I'm out of order.
