[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^  Im not familiar with that one.  The FOIA request individual that I recall was digging for info about an administrator.  The rumor at the time was that this individual was upset about a policy/curriculum change at the school and went looking for dirt.  If I remember correctly that person claimed to be looking for info about the policy change. Coincidentally, the administrator was unceremoniously dismissed from the school, amid allegations of wrongdoing in the middle of the school year.

Aps has more drama than some scripted  tv shows[/quote]

It's not a rumor, the FOIA guy posted about his FOIA request on AEM. It was about block scheduling. I can't speak to the dismissal of the administrator, I just know what I read on AEM.

The rumor was that he somehow used the FOIA to dig up "dirt," which reveals profound ignorance of how FOIA works. You have to draft those things narrowly and they cannot be used for fishing expeditions. There's no way information about an affair and misuse of APS funds surfaced in a FOIA about block scheduling, a curriculum issue. It was just a bizarre coincidence, I think, that the administrator who was subject of the FOIA got dismissed months later. But that didn't stop some people from attacking him online (and his kids in school). North Arlington people can be so awful, especially when they can hide behind keyboards. At least FOIA guy was transparent about what he was doing.

But none of this has to do with drugs at Yorktown. Except for possibly being a good anecdote to explain why kids in North Arlington feel compelled to abuse substances.[/quote]
