Right Ways and Wrong Ways of Operating a Major School System ---with 126,000 Children. Preventing Unnecessary School Property Tax Increases-- Are London England Based School Bus Companies Financially Damaging USA School Systems? |
|
Retired Air Force General and School Supt. John Fryer is moving Jacksonville FL-Duval County
FL school systems into a property tax increase situation.
London bus contractors are low ball bidding below cost throughout the northeast of the U.S. The results are bad service, questionable actions by public officials and parents who force property tax increases for the school system to buy buses. United We Stand America.cc Press Release 8/16/2001 AIG Policy AIG Division(s) insure(s) First Student school bus company in Jacksonville FL http://www.aigdirect.com/small_business/customer_service/faq_index.cfm?PageID=fq020 We will defend insureds who have neither committed, had knowledge of, acquiesced in or gained an advantage to which it would not otherwise have been entitled to as a result of such criminal, malicious, dishonest or fraudulent acts, error or omission shall be defended. An important question: Is it criminal, fraudulent or a serious omission of material fact etc. to not release copies of each driver's (State of Florida) required School Bus Driver's "Certificate" to the public and to school board members? This question does not cover the detailed required paperwork for the "Certificate," only the actual "Certificate"itself which acts as the actual licence to drive a school bus in Florida. The general requirements for a Bus Drivers "Certificate" were made available to Ms. Leary today: 1. CDL licence 2. Drug Tests and Physical 3. FBI Background Check (No Felons, no pedophiles 4.

I have been shocked at the insulting and cavalier attitude of your office. Your secretaries have been cordial, but they quote your top staff as saying that I will not be provided with a chance to see a copy of these certificates. Please allow me to call your attention to Chapter 119: "The 2001 Florida Statutes Title X Public Officers, Employees, And Records Chapter 119 Public Records View Entire Chapter 119.01 General state policy on public records.-- (1) It is the policy of this state that all state, county, and municipal records shall be open for personal inspection by any person. (2) The Legislature finds that, given advancements in technology, providing access to public records by remote electronic means is an additional method of access that agencies should strive to provide to the extent feasible. If an agency provides access to public records by remote electronic means, then such access should be provided in the most cost-effective and efficient manner available to the agency providing the information. (3) The Legislature finds that providing access to public records is a duty of each agency and that automation of public records must not erode the right of access to those records. As each agency increases its use of and dependence on electronic recordkeeping, each agency must ensure reasonable access to records electronically maintained. (4) Each agency shall establish a program for the disposal of records that do not have sufficient legal, fiscal, administrative, or archival value in accordance with retention schedules established by the records and information management program of the Division of Library and Information Services of the Department of State. History.--s. 1, ch. 5942, 1909; RGS 424; CGL 490; s. 1, ch. 73-98; s. 2, ch. 75-225; s. 2, ch. 83-286; s. 4, ch. 86-163; ss. 1, 5, ch. 95-296. Welcome Session Committees Legislators Information Center Statutes and Constitution Lobbyist Information" The Chapter 119 goes on to say that if you refuse to honor my public records request, you can be removed from office and forced to pay a fine. Superintendent Fryer, I am not asking for anything which is extraordinary or unusual. I am making a Florida public records request which you must honor and which you have no legal right to avoid. I have already made the request verbally and your staff says this request will not be honored. It might be that you do not understand what constitutes a public record. Let me offer some help. Absolutely always any license is a public record. Any certification is a public record. A license to cut hair or a certification to drive a bus, or any other license or certification, is provided by the government for the purpose of proving to others that a person is legal in doing what he is doing. I would like to see the complete copy of all certificates for all First Student drivers at 1 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday, August 16, at some place in the School Board building. I suggest the School Board building because Florida law requires you to have a copy of all these certificates on file in the School Board building. Also, the contract requires that these certificates be kept in the School Board building. The fact that your staff secretly gave First Student the right to keep the certificates at its compound, something done behind the back of Board members, is really irrelevant. Your staff does not have the ability, legally, to waive a requirement of state law. The very idea that Radcliff would tell the Board that he waived this requirement, which is a requirement of the state, is laughable and preposterous. I suggest 1 p.m. on Thursday because I want to allow you enough time to comply, but I don't want to fiddle around with the safety measures which state law provide in protection of the live of children. Please feel free to call me if you need any further explanation about this. You can reach me at 596-7335. I mean business. If First Student is using drivers who are not certified, then it is your duty to put an instant halt to this. The Florida law and rules dealing with certification of school bus drivers is designed for the safety of our kids. Failure to comply puts our kids at risk. Failure to comply puts you and the Board and the District at risk. If you do not make available these certificates (or a copy of the certificates) for all First Student drivers at 1 p.m. on Thursday, then I will immediately initiate every available legal remedy, including a demand for your removal, including an investigation by the Ethics Commission, including an investigation of the local Ethics Commission, and including a demand on you personally to reimburse all my legal fees as I hire about 14 attorneys to deal with this. You think I am kidding? Try me. I want to see all these certificates for all these First Student drivers at 1 p.m. on Thursday. First Student did represent to you in the Board meeting on Monday night that they did have 527 certificates for all of their 527 drivers. In the entire history of the world, there has never been any such thing as a certificate or license issued by a governmental agency as a condition of a job which has been NOT a public record. Make sure that none of your staff ever attempts to tell ANYONE anything so downright silly as that these certificates are NOT a matter of public record. It is not even close. It is not even arguable.
