Cynthia Broughton statement in Proviso Herald

Former District 89 (Maywood and Melrose Park elementary schools) superintendent Cynthia Broughton had a full page statement printed in last Wednesday's Proviso Herald. At the bottom of the statement there's an email address. Could someone post it or email it to me, RadioNyberg circled "a" Yahoo spot c0m?

District 89 holds closed-door meeting on Cynthia Broughton

Proviso Herald (David Pollard):
Lawyers for School District 89 and the district's superintendent, Cynthia Broughton, met behind closed doors last week to iron out the process of the hearing that will determine Broughton's fate as a district employee.

Broughton has been on administrative leave with pay since June. Her paychecks ended Aug. 15, less than a week after the School Board voted to stop her pay and start the hearing. As part of Broughton's contract with the district, a hearing is required if the board wants to terminate her employment prior to the contract's expiration.

Rosenthal and Murphey (it's misspelled in the article) is the same firm that represented Proviso Township High Schools (District 209) in litigation connected to firing Greg Jackson as superintendent.

The hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. at School District 89 Board of Education, 906 Walton St., Melrose Park. Broughton has been on administrative leave with pay since June.

Another superintendent getting canned for reasons that appear political or arbitrary... What can I say that's new?
