School Board Member Dennis Shapiro posts: The Peebles story in City Pages includes without correction a couple
of rumors that are going around like crazy. To correct: 1. The windows were frosted BEFORE Supt. Peebles was hired. 2. There is no 90-day probationary period in law nor in her contract. Brandt from out of state: I can confirm what Shapiro says from my own investigations. The windows were frosted under Jennings. And I've read the Peebles contract and corrected numerous callers who tried to tell me there is a 90-day probation. And there was a third error. It's not three out of four communications staffers for the district who have quit. It's five of seven. Reporting is more than repeating what people tell you. You have to check it out--if you want to get the story straight. Steve Brandt Staff writer Star Tribune Phone: 612-673-4438 Fax: 612-673-4359 425 Portland Av. Minneapolis, MN 55488 REMINDERS: 1.
