Top NEA reps to discuss Bennington probe at press conference
National Education Association and Vermont Education Association officials plan a Monday 5:30 p.m. press conference at the Baptist Church to discuss the status of last year’s VEA probe into Bennington education issues. NEA and VEA will outline actions the NEA Teacher Rights Committee may take in response to the VEA recommendation for a full scale probe. The VEA report, released earlier this year, led to two libel suits for 150000 dollars by Richard A. Sleeman, chair of the Bennington School District School Board, who claims statements attributed to witnesses were false and damaging. VEA tapes were reportedly destroyed during legal prep. VEA executive secretary Charles Ochmanski and NEA deputy executive secretary Robert Chanin will speak.
