Community Fundraiser for Board Trustee Raises Questions

A fundraiser held earlier this year for Kings Park Board of Education trustee Liz Barrett, has raised questions in regard to whether the event violated the board’s code of ethics.

Jim McGuire, of Kings Park, had previously asked the board to review section 6010 of the Code of Ethics for Board Member, which is related to receiving gifts.

The spring fundraiser was held to raise money for legal fees incurred by Barrett after the board brought about a petition with the New York State Commissioner of Education in June 2012 that could have removed her from the board amidst allegations that she shared confidential school information with an undisclosed third party.
