Briefing: School Beat: Prep for March Board Meeting.: J.C. McKenna---ADA deficient?

(Ed. note: This audio from the February 2007 Building and Grounds meeting occurs as Plunkett is discussing option #2 which would be to build a new middle school to replace J.C. McKenna.

Students will note a classic rule of questioning that is used by Art Phillips, board member. Rule # 1: When asking a question in direct examination, always begin by asking a question that you already know the answer to.

As a result of the questioning, it is extablished that J.C. McKenna is legally compliant under the ADA law. The Observer calls this three question dance step-----how to get a case dismissed in three easy questions.


Under questioning by Art Phillips, Plunkett partner admits that the ADA does not require 100% compliance and that J.C. McKenna is in legal compliance. It "maybe, might be not meeting the "spirit of the law, " according to the Plunkett partner.
