 By a 3-3 vote, the AC Board of Education voted down Sara Levinson at Special Meeting.

 Three Board Members were absent.

 Levinson was merely up for basic, routine approval for a math teacher position at Sovereign Avenue School.

 Levinson needed 5 votes tonight to be hired.

 Board Member Nynel Langford attempted to change her vote from the previous meeting. However, one Board Member voted against her.

Somehow a ruling was made that in order for Langford to change her vote, The Board had to unanimously approve it.

 No way. That's not how it works.

 I am strongly urging Superintendent Fred Nickles to resubmit Levinson at the next regular meeting when hopefully all Board Members will be present.

 The actions of some if the AC Board Members are worse then the Craig Callaway era.

 Levinson possesses double certification and has earned the difficult math certification.

 This could open the City to an enormous law suit. These Board Members are not permitted to reject a recommended, qualified candidate in this manner.

 I have gave also learned from multiple sources that a very nasty Executive Session took place regarding this matter.
