The board is expected to discuss the procedure of its next search for a superintendent. Board meeting documents are available here. The school board is also meeting from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in a closed-door session, ostensibly to talk about security and legal matters only, though some board members have been using the occasion to discuss other matters, including board dynamics, which is illegal.

Florida Atlantic University associate professor of communications James Tracy infuriated the public with his conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook massacre and is doing the same with the Boston Marathon bombing. In each instance, he claimed that the events as we know them may not have happened and were perhaps staged using crisis actors. […] He and his supporters quickly reference his First Amendment right to express his ideas. Ideas, they proclaim, lie at the heart of the academic pursuit. What James Tracy does not understand is that ideas represent the end product of the intellectual process. Before they can be publicly espoused, ideas must be subjected to rigorous and intensive examination. Academics test ideas to prove their worth; commentators simply state them. Academics expose their theories to other academics; conspiracy theorists blog them to each other. Academics build on a rich intellectual tradition, people like James Tracy spin tall tales out of nothing.”

–From a letter to the editor by Jeffrey Morton, Patricia Kollander and Thomas Wilson in the Palm Beach Post, April 29, 2013..
