Since Nonn won a seat on the board in the Nov. 8, 2016 elec- tion, he and CRPUSD Superin- tendent Dr. Robert Haley have been at odds over what assis- tance he should receive during meetings because of his legally blind status. Nonn says he wants to choose his own assistant, someone he trusts, to sit beside or behind him at board meetings and read doc- uments to him in order for him to do his job properly. The district says it has provided Nonn with the necessary assistance and that if an assistant is necessary, it wants to provide it. During the board meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 17, Nonn was at the table reserved for board members and staff but had no one there to assist him. Nonn’s lawyers, he said, are in the process of filing a complaint against the school board, a process which is likely to take a If humans can get flu shots…why can’t chickens? couple of weeks.
