Just last week the state board’s issuance of charges against board member Wayne Foote was broadcast by WCBC prior to Foote himself being notified. The steady stream of “leaks” coming in the past two months has led to finger pointing and accusations between board members- as well as a clear level of mistrust. Board President Robert Farrell, who has been accused by at least one fellow board member of disseminating information to the media, vehemently denies those accusations.
