4. ADJOURNMENT
Shameful that an exceptional educator, coach, and soldier was not given the chance to defend his position as to the decisions he made to teach his students in his classroom as Blaine Elementary School. Mr. Whelan was doing an awesome job teaching middle school science. I guess having an exceptional teacher that had high expectation for his students was just too much for some people.
