"will report to the Interim Superintendent for his assignment". Guess who's going to be the highest paid landscaper in the state...

Those toilets can get quite messy, too.

Maybe Mr DeHart can help out…. He seems like a big fan of Phillips.

Because Stephen did not do his job school days, programs and jobs have been thrown on the budget chopping block. It is only right this guy loses the rest of his more-than-ample salary and benefits.

I agree manyhands…..And he’s a no show in trying to address those issues that were created by his lack of leadership.

It is obvious Trevor DeHart's actions are sucking the life out of Newberg schools. Trevor should resign from the board.
Trevor has a long list of actions that have not helped Newberg schools:
Trevor was the only board member who voted last month to keep sleeping-on-the-job Stephen Phillips as superintendent of the school district. Under Stephen's watch Newberg schools now have a budget deficit of a whopping $4 million.
Trevor crazily voted to hire Stephen. Crazy because Stephen at the time of hire had an extremely shady job history, including being a subject of a federal investigation and being fired from the Beaverton school district.
It was decided this year by the circuit court that Trevor and former board members illegally met secretly to hire an attorney aligned with their political goals, even though the district already had an attorney. The attorneys who argued the case against the illegal hire have presented a bill of $370,000 to the school district for their services.
Trevor's actions are sucking the life out of Newberg schools. He should resign from the board.

How mean-spirited to kick him when he's down. The poor soul is ill. He can't help it.
And they continue to reward him.
I'm surprised any Newberg parent would send his children to public school.
