‘Man alive that’s a stretch’

Atkinson was the only trustee to vote for retaining Grimston as a site for a new middle school and still believes the board should have stood up to public outcry. “In my opinion they should have stepped up to that, I did at that time,” said Atkinson. In the letter, Atkinson also mentioned long debates about bottled water, extended lunch hours and the location of schools as being unproductive and building rancor. Although Mortensen was the driving force behind asking for longer lunch hours, he did not mention her involvement. “If it were a personal attack, you bet I would have mentioned that in that as well,” said Atkinson.

Cook also took exception to Atkinson pointing out Voice voted against supplying funds for the survival of the district’s business company in 2009. Since the board is the sole shareholder of the district, Cook charged Atkinson is in a conÀict of interest in trying to inÀuence who gets elected. “If a CEO wants to get involved in the outcome of who his shareholders are going to be, it’s simply inappropriate,” said Cook. Atkinson said he was only detailing what was a matter of public record from open public meetings. “It’s a matter of fact, the business company wouldn’t have survived if I hadn’t had that cash Àow. With a lot of hard work by me and others the business company is now making money. Man alive that’s a stretch.”
