11-11-08 No wonder we have a bullying problem in Acton, when the head of the school board is a bully against anyone who opposes his personal view. As we all know, Ron Bird opposed the CF bond. Now that the vote is so close on CF, Distaso has produced a personal trumped up complaint against Ron Bird. Without going to the board and receiving approval, he spent thousands of dollars of the kids educational funds and he directed the school's attorney to draft a personal vendetta against Ron Bird. Distaso personally directed the Superintendent to act under Distaso's orders.
Distaso now thinks he runs the board, without his two Brighter Group lackeys acting as a backup chorus. He even says in his tirade that "conduct the Board considers to be inimical" as a fete' de accompli', without a board vote.
Exactly who, without any board approval, authorized Distaso to contact the School's attorney and spend the schools tax funds to .take action against Ron Bird. When Ron at the worst was simply exercising his First Amendment rights. We call on Distaso to step down for what amounts to theft of tax funds for Distaso's personal political gain.
He is such a bully that instead of bringing his complaints to a board meeting and discussing it, he spent thousands of dollars of the kids educational money to promote his personal vendetta against Ron Bird.
