Only thing left to do is raise taxes. And so they shall. First they want 2 more years of total control to finish us.

And his weather machine caused Katrina. And his mind control machine stopped people from evacuating.

I think November will most likely be "Older Iowans Month". This guy has no shame. Or decent advisors. "Hey, my wife reads to kids." Really? Smoke another.

Charges filed? Wed, 5 May 2010 01:10:48 +0000 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/92813579.html#IDComment72571767 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/you-are-here-by-jennifer-hemmingsen/2010/04/23/benton-schools-response-to-teacher-abuse-reports#IDComment70046902 I think the only legal liability the district had was when the resignation was accepted. He could have landed a job, substituted, and really acted on his impulses. It was from 2006-2010 when the district was exposed to serious liability. Which brings up the point of Ms. Hemmingsen's in the first article. Why did Don Clark leave?

Jenniffer, can you call them and get that? I am on pins and needles waiting to hear the truth.

Are mandatory reporters only obligated if criminal charges are filed? What exactly is the hole in the law?

Is there mandatory reporting? If no criminal charges are filed, are the mandatory reporters excused from reporting? What exactly is the hole?

What has the media done? Get the records from the Board of examiners and expose it all.

Read the charges. NOT 18! Talk to the County Attorney!!!

Drahozal was allowed to resign 4 years ago. School board found out 2 years later. Fired school attorney, hired new attorney, spent thousands getting his license jerked. Small, vocal, well organized group called "PRIDE" fought school board all the way. In last election, group had all board members running for re-election removed. Check news archives for Benton Community stories last 2 years.

Allowed to resign and keep his license? Give me a break. The school board didn't find out till years later, and after firing the school attorney, spent thousands in legal fees getting his license jerked. If you check the news archives, you will find how hard a group called "PRIDE" fought the school board at every turn. School boards are not allowed to discuss "personnel" matters, and this board became a public punching bag for a small, vocal, well organized group. Most members have since been voted out, meaning the current board is now in the hands of the administration.

The school board had no knowledge of what happened until years later when they were looking into other mismanaged issues. The board was publicly admonished by a small, vocal, well organized group called "PRIDE". Check the news archives for stories related to Benton Community. Drahozal kept his license and continued to officiate junior high girls basketball. It took a new school attorney and thousands in legal fees to get his license jerked.
