I received a second email from Mr. McIntosh this afternoon:
Ms. Scheinbern,
I want to amend by response to you regarding Judi Kennedy. I now have confirmation from the individual who processes our payroll and can give you a definitive answer that Ms. Kennedy is not an employee of the high school nor is she receiving any sort of compensation from the high school.
I hope this clears up the matter fully for you.
Have a nice weekend,
Frank McIntosh
Let's dispel the myth: Over the last couple weeks there have been rumors circulating that Pencader board member Judi Kennedy has been working in the school cafeteria. Mr. McIntosh has confirmed that Ms. Kennedy's involvement is that of a dedicated volunteer. There's no dog and pony show here to see. No potential conflicts of interest. No wrongdoing. Politics aside, Ms. Kennedy should be commended for dedicating so many hours to the school she supports.
Note: It is not uncommon for false rumors to be spun in many directions. It was a practice that was utilized this summer to taunt the various bloggers who were following the Pencader saga. At every turn, ethical bloggers, like the main stream media, attempt to check the veracity of the information given to them. When the validity of an item cannot be confirmed, but the pieces of the puzzle fit, it is not uncommon for bloggers to disclose a rumor to spur conversation or to flesh out more information. You will note that bloggers usually disclose when a rumor is a rumor. For those who still think it's fun to play games with the bloggers, please know that we are fact checking your information. And if that means going to the president of the Pencader BOD, the DOE, or the AG, we will.
Ms. Scheinberg,
Mrs. Kennedy is a dedicated volunteer at Pencader HS. She gives countless hours of her time to improve the climate of the school and is a strong parent advocate. I am not aware of any compensation from Pencader that she receives. BTW, I am changing my published e-mail address away from my business e-mail. The volume of mail is overwhelming my business interests. My new e-mail address is:mcintosh.pen@gmail.com.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Terranova and Anderson are Pencader employees representing the teaching staff in accordance with the bylaws as is evidenced by their Pencader email addresses. Is Kennedy now a Pencader employee, too?
Note: I have posed this question to BOD President McIntosh via his unique user email. I will provide the answer when I receive it.
