Red Lion parents wonder what's next after field hockey snafu

Where do you come up with this stuff!? Mr. Humberd did not own the country club! Mike Haugh was the owner who ran it as a country club. After months of RLASD making motions and voting to seize land by eminant domain, only to recind them, Mr. Haugh finally sold the property to RLASD for $5.2 million. I thought we'd been through all this already. And just so I won't have to make any more posts (hopefully) Mr. Seitz (the board president) did not own the property either and was not the listing agent for the property. He was however, the board president when all this happened. So, please get your facts straight before posting false information on here. Hopefully everyone else will read this before posting also. Also, so I do not have to post again... why is "KB" being brought into this? HE is not the one with children on the basketball AND field hockey teams... The board memebers vote the way they feel is correct based on the information they have received. Hopefully they do their own research before voting to find out the truth. Let's hope the district as a whole can start doing their own work instead of relying on someone else to be correct. There is a lot of accountablity to be held district wide. Just to make myself clear, I am NOT "bashing " the board, administration or anyone else, except maybe "Scott" whose post I am replying to. Everyone in the district has a job to do and lets hope they start doing it correctly and unbiased. From the students to the teachers to Dr. Herron (who I am not singling out, he is just at the top of the district).  (Oct 26, 2009 | post #25)

Red Lion field hockey must forfeit seven games

Well. If I wasn't right the first time when I said Ms. Grenewalt shouldn't have been fired, I am now. Red Lion has screwed up in sports and she isn't there for them to blame. Computers have glitches but people are supposed to have brains. I would think that after the whole basketball thing, the coaches would be double checking everything that has to do with their players. I am glad to hear this student is "stellar " in academics because that is why these students are at school in the first place.  (Oct 26, 2009 | post #34)

I confirmed with a real estate agent (not from CB) who gave me the amount (which I already knew), the acreage and listing agent's name. My first source came from "friend" who has a "friend" who works for CB, which is another reason I wanted to confirm for myself. The articles I found online were a little confusing because it made it seem like the board voted several times to do something, but then retracted their motions? This whole issue stretching from 2003-2006 is confusing to me. I had seen in articles that they wanted to use eminent domain to take the property or atleast enough for athletic fields. I need more research on this issue, which is why I cannot comment further right now.  (Sep 15, 2009 | post #167)

Thank you. I accept your apology gracefully and I hope that in the future we all can know our facts before posting. I too believe that there are people on the board who are trying to do well and really do take into consideration what we think, especially since I had sent an email to each of them and I knew that atleast one of them read it. They decided to lower the increase by .10 mills and a board member pretty close to quoted a statement I made in my email. I do, however realize there are issues the board does not know about nor can control. I am at the board meetings. I have spoken with Dr. Herron on several occasions and he has always made time to speak with me and has always responded to my emails. I am glad we can agree on atleast one thing and maybe in the future we will again.  (Sep 15, 2009 | post #165)

I am finding it hard to reply to your posts considering you do not seem to be able to have an intelligent adult conversation without resorting to name calling. Considering the fact that you got all bent out of shape when someone mentioned Mr. Seitz in a negative way, I must ASSUME you know him personally. But since I don't know who you are, I cannot confirm that. After checking with another real estate company, who has no connection to this issue, my findings were the same as the first time. Mr. Seitz's son was in fact on the team and did get hurt (which is sad). So, if you would like to reply to my post or anyone else's, I suggest you try to be more mature.  (Sep 15, 2009 | post #160)

ok. Thank you to Curious to for pointing out that "had enough" has been singling me out. I assume that this person knows that I do know what I am talking about and that is why I am being called names. I did in fact check before I posted a reply to someone's post about Copper Beech. I had been informed months ago that Coldwell Banker was the listing company, but I didn't mention that Mr. Seitz was NOT the listing agent. I never said he was, never said that he had bought the property and resold it, because that is NOT true. There are answers out there, you just have to know who to talk to and where to look. Let me clarify for everyone that I do not think the board as a whole is bad. There are members who are trying to do the right thing. I am going to copy and paste part of an article I found online about Copper Beech... RLASD wanted to seize 7.3 acres to ensure that they would have enough room for athletic fields, possible elementary school and possible addition to the junior high. Here is a quote from Mr. Seitz: School board President Chris Seitz said the agreement is valuable to the district. "We're pleased we've ended up with a valuable asset," he said. "It's a key piece of land that will help us with growth." RLASD voted in spring 2004 to condemn both property and buildings on the Copper Beech site but later abandoned the measure. RLASD acted again in April 2005 to condemn 7.31 acres of the property to use as playing fields. At the time, questions about the fair market value of the land held up proceedings. This tract is included in the current agreement along with the additional acreage. This information came from an article printed in the local section of the York Daily Record on Oct. 7, 2006. Basically, they were going to use eminent domain to take over part of Copper Beech, but decided not to. Later they decided to just buy the whole thing. I hope this can clear up some of the debate over the Copper Beech issue.  (Sep 15, 2009 | post #159)

Are you voicing YOUR opinion off my last post where I took information off the school website and the adjudiction-word for word? Or my other posts where I mostly received the information from being at school board meetings, talking/emailing with board members, Dr. Herron, Mr. Robinson and even Dr. Lowe, asking questions and doing research? And in an earlier post I had said I was in the district or almost 2 decades, that was a typo, it's been longer. If anyone had such a desire to meet me, or find out if this information is true, they would know where to find me, atleast on the first and third Thursday of the month. As far as suing me for "spreading rumors", maybe you should look at the way you have been judged and the way I have...  (Sep 13, 2009 | post #145)

In order to even be considered for a teaching position, one must have Act 34 and 151 clearances and FBI fingerprint clearance. Once employed by the district that information is in your file. But, in the adjudiction it wasn't that she didn't make sure the person in question had clearances, Dr. Herron wanted her to "check with the principal of the building in which a prospective coasch appointee worked, to seek input as to whether there was any reason why that individual would not be a good candidate". But yes, the board does "motion and second" approval of substitute teachers, coaches, drivers... I hope this helps.  (Sep 13, 2009 | post #140)

I must agree with you on that. My source says Coldwell Banker was the listing agent. This is the exact sort of thing that we are trying to get the word out about. We try to stay ahead of the game, but there is no way to know what the admin. is planning to do because they tell the board what they want them to hear and things are brought up in "executive sessions" before and/or after board meetings. The best we all can do is ask questions and go to board meetings. The agendas are posted the day of the meeting around 3 pm. I know in some of my posts it may seem as though I am "bashing " the board, but I would like to clarify. There are some on the board who are trying to do good and realizing that they need to pay more attention. I am proud to say that two of those are from my district, even though on the most recent vote, one voted with the majority, but that was his decision. They're not all bad, just misinformed and not as powerful as we think.  (Sep 13, 2009 | post #139)

Wow. You definately are watching from afar! Maybe you should come to the front row. They only had to be "fiscally responsible" after they decided to purchase Copper Beach AND the property LJM is located on. They purchased BOTH in 2006. They can't even touch most of Copper Beach because it is Dallastown's school district. They spent $23,000,000 on LJM and another $32,000,000 on the high school, which needed more classrooms. Like I said before, how does the "taj mahal" of a gym, indoor track and pool area fit into the schedule of needing extra classrooms? They have new tennis courts because that was needed for parking. There is a new practice field because they ran a road through the old one from the new parking where the tennis courts once were. As for the AD issue we should be writing about here, look at the file and see that she had nothing in her file until the basketball issue. After that, to make it look like Mr. Board President wasn't completely behnd this, other things had to be fudged to make it look less obvious. Oh, and by the way, Mr. Pres's son was on the basketball team. Now how do you feel?  (Sep 12, 2009 | post #129)

And this is exactly why people think Red Lion is full of inbreeding rednecks. If we all came off the same family tree, why the district is filled with countless last names and races? The district, or atleast the board president, wanted her gone. Mr. President's son was on the basketball team. Jan Hall admitted to making mistakes in his many years as AD but noone reprimanded him or dared to try to fire him. Many mistakes are made in RLASD every year, but noone holds anyone else accountable. I could go on for hours talking about the sleezy and dishonest things that have been happening in this district. Other than Katy being fired, the most recent is the 27 iphones that were purchased for the administrators. How about the millions of dollars spent on remodeling the high school because we need more classrooms for the growing district? How does an indoor track, new pool area and a brand new "taj mahal" of a gym fit into needed classroom space?! RLASD is about sports. Not education. I know I will get a lot of "disagrees " or whatever for this comment, but that is fine. I've been in this district almost 2 decades. I graduated from RLHS, which I have never been proud of. I've seen a lot of bs go on in the school and from what i understand, it is only getting worse. I go to board meetings, where again, I see more bs.  (Sep 11, 2009 | post #85)

Actually, to be employeed by the district, you have to go through several checks, including background. Even to volunteer at a school, you must have clearances. So the whole 'she didn't do a background check" thing isn't working or me as a reason to get rid of her.  (Sep 11, 2009 | post #84)
