The way his board treated Dr. Del Burns is plenty of grounds for deportation. Dr. Burns was a great educator who was principal of two schools my son attended. The board's disrespect of this wonderful man should be criminal IMHO.
The thread title asks if his new position is a conflict of interest. Perhaps and perhaps not. The immediate question might be is he being paid to influence board of eductation policy and decisions?

The thread title was meant to be sarcastic. It's clear this guy is up to something even worse than what anyone imagined, IMO.
Not to steer away from JT, but today I found out that my transfer request was denied. I even appealed. And most interestingly, I requested a transfer FROM the school Ms. Goldman's kid was assigned to and TO the same school she got her kid into--with transportation. I asked for a transfer because I am disabled and need to have my kids closer than 11 miles apart from on another for childcare reasons and other medical and academic reasons.
It never ceases to amaze me how things work at WCPSS, and how these board members manage to do the things they do and wield the power they do, and take appointments like these....heck, get OFFERED appointments like these. I give up!
Seems like WCPSS is back in the 70s - schools about everywhere else in the country have moved way beyond the Wake situation - for instance - all this bussing and school assignment crap - blows my mind - it's like 1978 all over again around here - glad I am in Jo Co.
On the Topic of JT. Sounds to me like he landed a job heading up an official Lobby Group that wants to influence public policy state-wide. Is it legit to have a lobbyist on a local school board? I wouldn think not.
I agree with Francois....something fishy! Is there a Pope or Lundy behind this? I suspect 'agenda" with "T" being the front man. Tedesco and I once moved in the same circles. My take on him is VASTLY different from the one on his CV/profile and in the above link. if I were to apply his standards to translating my qualifications...why I'd be running for governor and amply qualified
I'm glad you've managed to shake him. He's a turd sandwich.
I've known Del Burns since I was his student assistant in 1984. He's a good guy, truly.
People like Tedesco make me sick.
