Voting Records Misrepresentation

[This is an email from Tracy Krasnoff to the School Board outlining denials by the District that Voter Registration Lists were ever used.]

District 279 School Board Members and members of the District 279 Community:

In regards to the issues regarding the Weaver Lake parents voting records I was appalled to read that Susan had this information on January 28th. I myself spoke with Susan on April 3rd in regards to my email- dated March 25th- to her and the school board after I requested the voting records to clear the names of the Save Weaver Leadership group. During the phone conversation with Susan she adamantly denied ever having seen our voting records and told me that her administration did not have the time to waste on such matters. She also explained that it took her from March 25th until April 3rd to respond because she could not figure out why I thought she had said that 9 out of 11 of us did not vote. She then went on to say that she had spent the week investigating where this rumor had come from and discovered that someone on the vote yes committee had requested the voting records but only to determine why the vote had failed never to look into individuals. She also was very adamant in that she had never had any interest in who had and had not voted and that people often said untrue things about her and that I needed to understand this and should not believe everything I hear. During this phone conversation she also told me that she had reviewed her emails and did not know why I thought she had the voter information because she could not find anything in her emails.

I have attached both the email I sent to the board and the email I distributed to the Weaver Leadership group on April 3rd after my phone call with Susan and her denial of ever having seen our voting records.

I had not previously disclosed this information because I firmly believed it was only the business of those who had or had not voted and really wasn’t information that anyone else needed. However, at this time I feel that our community needs all of the information they can get to stop this nonsense and work to elect a board and hire a superintendent that we can trust. After reading these emails my trust while already weak has been completely shattered.

Thank you to all of those individuals who have continued to press for answers, you are heroes to all of us and our children, the real victims in this nightmare.
