Please investigate this RRT because I was told that Bob threw a tizzy fit when he couldn’t get other board members to back him as president of the new board so “he took his ball & went home”. If this is true, Bob should be ASHAMED. He evidentally did NOT have the children’s best interest at heart as he led us to believe.
