This conversation was spontaneous. There certainly was no script. It was not even particularly coherent.

Any time you have a conversation about how you reconfigure districts, those questions are going to be a consideration. In some cases the idea is that consolidation will lead to more fairness. In others it's that smaller districts might mean more local control and better support for student needs.

I don't think this began as a violent confrontation between the two. I think this began as a conversation between the two that escalated.

It's extraordinary, the amount of misunderstandings there are even between two people who discuss a thing quite often - both of them assuming different things and neither of them discovering the discrepancy.

You have to, that was a conversation between Mike and I, that we had to make the money work for both. You still have to try and get what fits your team but you have to make the money work on both sides.

I would like to submit that 'private' means anything to which the public does not have access to by right.
