While I’m not fond of Pearl’s age, if it means 6-8 years of Pearlmania, I’m all for it. I’m sure some of the BOT are having PTSD of Sampson Fiasco, but the stuff Pearl did was minor and legal now.
It’s definitely the BOT wanting to play safe and not hire someone with violations again. But be patient, since that was DC said and see how this plays out. There is likely support for Pearl, just need a few more Trustees to flip.
