Attorney Willie Zanders STATE OF LOUISIANA DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW ETHICS ADJUDICATORY BOARD BOARD OF ETHICS JUL 06 2015 DOCKET NO. 2012-18004-ETHICS-B IN THE MATTER OF PAULETTE BRUNO AGENCY TRACKING NO. 2011-1442 DEFENDANT’S INPUT FOR PRE-HEARING ORDER NOW COMES PAULETTE BRUNO, through undersigned Counsel, who respectfully submits her input for the PRE-HEARING ORDER previously filed by Attorneys for the Ethics Board. 1B. DEFENDANT’S CLAIM 1. The Ethics Board’s claim ignores state law giving the Charter School Board the “exclusive authority over all employment decisions” and not a School Principal Just months after Hurricane Katrina, the State of Louisiana took control of 107 New Orleans Public Schools effective November 30, 2005. The Orleans Parish School Board began to charter or give legally binding contracts to non-profit Boards managed by educators, business owners and civic leaders. On August 7, 2006, the Orleans Parish School Board signed a legally binding agreement giving the Advocates for Innovative Schools, Inc. the full authority to govern, manage and operate the Robert Russa Moton Charter School. The Board of Directors for Innovative Schools, Inc. assumed the same power and authority as a local school board. Specifically, La. R. S. 42 §3997 A.(1). “Charter school employees” provides that “the governing authority of any charter school may employ such faculty and staff members as it deems necessary. .. (b) The nonprofit organization shall have exclusive authority overall employment decisions at the charter schools. 2. Principal Paulette Bruno has neither the power to hire nor fire an employee. 1 On May 1, 2006, Moton Charter Schools’ Board of Directors decided to hire Paulette Bruno, a highly qualified/state certified educator, to operate the school. However as previously stated, Louisiana’s Charter School Law mandates that “the nonprofit organization shall have exclusive authority over all employment decisions at the charter schools. Additionally, the Charter Agreement between the Orleans Parish School Board and the Board of Directors for Moton Charter School included the following restrictions and limitations on page 4 of the August 7, 2006 Agreement: “The Board of Directors of Advocates for Innovative Schools, Inc. shall be the final authority in matters affecting the charter school, including, but not limited to staffing, job titles, employee salary and fringe benefits, financial accountability and curriculum.” Therefore, without a vote on the Charter School’s Board of Directors, Principal Paulette Bruno could only sign business documents and contracts as per the approval or directive of her Board of Directors. She did not have the power to hire and fire school personnel. She is not considered a School Superintendent and does not have state certification to be considered a Superintendent. 3. There is no violation of La. 42:1119A (Nepotism) and the charges ignore clear and unambiguous exceptions to Louisiana’s Nepotism Law a) Under La. R.S. 42: 1119 (2) “(a)(i) Any local school board may employ any member of the immediate family of any board member or of the superintendent as a classroom teacher provided that such family member is certified to teach”. Suzanne Encalarde became a state-certified teacher in July 2003 working in Orleans Parish. She was hired in a similar capacity at Moton Charter School in 2008. At the time she was not related to any member of the Board of Directors or Principal Paulette Bruno. Two years after she was employed, September 2010, Ms. Encalarde married a son of Principal Bruno. However, as a state-certified teacher at Moton Charter School in a similar capacity as her previous employment, Ms. Encalarde was exempt from the state’s nepotism laws under La. R.S. 42:1119 (F). In September 2011, Ms. Encalarde became a Master Teacher with the responsibility of mentoring other teachers and supervising the federally-funded Title I program. The additional compensation she earned was less than the salary of other Master Teachers performing additional supervisory tasks. b) Under La. R.S. 42: 1119 (F) Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the school board of a school system created after June 1, 2006, from employing an immediate family member of a school board member, provided that the immediate family member was previously employed in a similar capacity by a school board within the same parish for a period of at least one year prior to the creation of the new school system. 2 L’Tanya Randolph joined the staff of Moton School in October 2002 when the school was under the control of the Orleans Parish School Board. In July 2005, Ms. Randolph married the son of Moton Principal, Paulette Bruno. In 2007, the Orleans Parish School Board informed the Governing Board of Moton Charter School that its monthly MFP allocation (its core funding under Louisiana’s Minimum Foundation Program) would not be deposited unless Moton data was entered into a centralized Student Information System. As documented in Board Minutes for May 18 2007, Ms. Randolph was hired to input student data for Moton Charter School----in a similar capacity as her previous employment at Moton School from 2002-2005. In July 2009, the Advocates for Innovative Schools rehired L’Tanya Randolph Bruno as the school’s Data Manager----again in a similar capacity as her previous employment with the Orleans Parish School Board. Hence, L’Tanya Randolph was exempt from the state’s nepotism laws under La. R.S. 42:1119 (F). 4. Both L’Tanya Randolph and Suzanne Encalarde were employed at Moton School two years before they married into Principal Bruno’s family and should not be punished for marrying. In fact, public policy favors marriage especially for public employees who work with children and young adults. Ms. Randolph and Ms. Encalarde were rehired after having worked in a “similar capacity” at another school. The rehiring was legal under 42:1119 (C) (2). The provisions of this Section shall not prohibit the continued employment of any public employee nor shall it be construed to hinder, alter, or in any way affect normal promotional advancements for such public employee where a member of public employees' immediate family becomes the agency head of such public employee's agency, provided that such public employee has been employed in the agency for a period of at least one year prior to the member of the public employee's immediate family becoming the agency head. 42:1119 (C) (2) As to the small pay increases, under La. R. S. 42: 1112 (B)(1):“The provisions of this Section shall not prohibit the continued employment of any public employee nor shall it be construed to hinder, alter, or in any way affect normal promotional advancements for such public employee…”. 3 5. Assuming arguendo, that Principal Paulette Bruno participated in the promotion of L’Tanya Randolph and Suzanne Encalardein discharge of her duty or responsibility of her position as School Principal or CEO, as per La. 42:1112 (below) as long as she did not vote, Principal Bruno was not prohibited from participating in discussions concerning the matter, provided the Charter Board was aware of the fact that these two ladies had married her sons. 42 §1120. Recusal from voting If any elected official, in the discharge of a duty or responsibility of his office or position, would be required to vote on a matter which vote would be a violation of R.S. 42:1112, he shall recuse himself from voting. An elected official who recuses himself from voting pursuant to this Section shall not be prohibited from participating in discussion and debate concerning the matter, provided that he makes the disclosure of his conflict or potential conflict a part of the record of his agency prior to his participation in the discussion or debate and prior to the vote that is the subject of discussion or debate. 1B. DEFENDANT’S LEGAL AUTHORITY Revised Statutes TITLE 42 - Public Officers and Employees RS 42:1112 - Participation in certain transactions involving the governmental entity §1112. Participation in certain transactions involving the governmental entity A. No public servant, except as provided in R.S. 42:1120, shall participate in a transaction in which he has a personal substantial economic interest of which he may be reasonably expected to know involving the governmental entity. B. No public servant, except as provided in R.S. 42:1120, shall participate in a transaction involving the governmental entity in which, to his actual knowledge, any of the following persons has a substantial economic interest: (1) Any member of his immediate family. (2) Any person in which he has a substantial economic interest of which he may reasonably be expected to know. (3) Any person of which he is an officer, director, trustee, partner, or employee. (4) Any person with whom he is negotiating or has an arrangement concerning prospective employment. (5) Any person who is a party to an existing contract with such public servant, or with any legal entity in which the public servant exercises control or owns an interest in excess of twenty-five percent, or who owes anything of economic value to such public servant, or to any legal entity in 4 which the public servant exercises control or owns an interest in excess of twenty-five percent, and who by reason thereof is in a position to affect directly the economic interests of such public servant. TITLE 42 — Public officers and employees RS 42:1120 — Recusal from voting §1120. Recusal from voting If any elected official, in the discharge of a duty or responsibility of his office or position, would be required to vote on a matter which vote would be a violation of R.S. 42:1112, he shall recuse himself from voting. An elected official who recuses himself from voting pursuant to this Section shall not be prohibited from participating in discussion and debate concerning the matter, provided that he makes the disclosure of his conflict or potential conflict a part of the record of his agency prior to his participation in the discussion or debate and prior to the vote that is the subject of discussion or debate.
