Turned Away by Superintendent at Special Board Meeting - Wednesday, April 29 2020

For the record, on Wednesday, April 29, 2020, I arrived at Rio Hondo College for a Special Board Meeting at 5:30 pm for a 6:00 pm meeting. I walked into the board room and interrupted a meeting of the Superintendent, Vice President and another unidentifiable person. I apologized and waited outside.

I made a quick trip to the Superintendent's secretary to get some post its and walked back. They left [Superintendent] and I sat in the empty half lit board room reading and waiting till 6:00 pm.  6:00 pm came around and no one was there.  The last three meetings three board members have attended practicing social distancing.

I walked into the Superintendent's office and ask if there is a board meeting. He replied, "yes, you're not suppose to be here".  I said, I've been here since 5:30 pm and you've seen me twice. I'm here for the board meeting. He continued a little mad, "you're not suppose to be here the meeting is online".  Im sorry, no one told me it was an online only meeting.  I'm here in person, can you please set me up for the meeting? He gives me a dirty look. I said, Well...ill just sit here to hear the board meeting.

If one of my employers walked into the building for a meeting you bet I would make sure he was set up for a scheduled meetings.  I really don't understand.
