A confrontation between a parent and a board member brought an abrupt end to a meeting of the Penfield Central School District Board Tuesday night.
Multiple reports say a board member called the parent an expletive, leading the parent to jump on the stage at Penfield High School and confront the board member.
The Penfield CSD issued a statement saying “The Penfield Board of education holds a public comment period at each meeting. This is a time for residents to share comments and concerns with the board. Following the public comment period at tonight’s meeting, an exchange between a resident and a board member became heated. The situation escalated and the meeting was immediately recessed. Since the meetings are also streamed and accessible online, the public was cleared and the meeting was reconvened in a virtual format so the board could complete its business.”
