Rochester School Board declines to investigate email access complaint
ROCHESTER The city School Board voted 10-1 Thursday not to investigate ethics complaints against Chair Paul Lynch, who abstained from the vote.
School Board member Karen Stokes had called for her board and City Council to investigate Lynch over her allegations of improper datamining.
A Rochester Police Department police investigation recently confirmed Lynch and Superintendent Kyle Repucci obtained information through the datamining of school district email accounts and district-provided devices used by Stokes, fellow board member Thom O’Connor and the head of the local teachers union. Police determined no laws were broken.
