STILL NO WORD TONIGHT FROM THE LEE COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
DR. JOSEPH BURKE WAS A NO-SHOW AT A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING TODAY.A MEETING CALLED AFTER THE STATE SENT THEM A LETTER ABOUT ALLEGATIONS OF MISCONDUCT AGAINST BURKE!
NBC 2'S KIM BROWN WAS AT THE MEETING.
Return to index of stories...
THE EMPTY CHAIR WAS TOUGH TO MISS TODAY.
LEE COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT DR. JOSEPH BURKE.TOOK A PERSONAL DAY TO AVOID A MEETING WHERE HE WOULD BE ON THE HOT SEAT.
Frankly at this point, I believe only a formal outside independent forensic investigation of these matters in dispute will bring about reconciliation.
BOARD MEMBERS CATHLEEN MORGAN AND JEANNE DOZIER CALLED FOR THAT OUTSIDE INVESTIGATION INTO BURKE AT TODAY'S SPECIAL MEETING.
THEY STILL WANT ANSWERS ABOUT WHY BURKE ASKED STATE INVESTIGATORS TO STOP LOOKING INTO ALLEGATIONS THAT ONE OF HIS TOP ADMINSTRATORS.DR. DEEDARA HICKS.SHOWED UP FOR WORK INTOXICATED.
THE STATE LATER SAID FURTHER INVESTIGATION WAS NOT WARRANTED.
If you look through all of these documents, you'll see, suppress, suppress suppress.
BURKE IS ALSO ACCUSED OF MOVING ONE-POINT-SIX MILLION DOLLARS IN GRANT MONEY TO ANOTHER ACCOUNT WITHOUT BOARD APPROVAL.
AND SPENDING 293-THOUSAND DOLLARS IN GRANT MONEY ON TOP LEVEL ADMINISTRATORS. INSTEAD OF STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM.
DESPITE THE ALLEGATIONS.BOARD MEMBERS MARY FISCHER, DON ARMSTRONG AND TOM SCOTT VOTED NO AGAINST AN OUTSIDE INVESTIGATION.
Hiring another investigator, it seems to me redundant. You probably heard me say that four or five times today. We've been there done that got the answers, it's time to move on to other things.
SCOTT EVEN WENT SO FAR AS DEFEND BURKE'S ABSENCE.
He wasn't going to be able to say anything to defend himself and it wasn't the appropriate place for that to be done.
KIM BROWN, NBC-2.
Return to index of stories...
THE LEE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD ESSENTIALLY WLL TELL THE STATE THEY HAVE LOOKED INTO THEIR CONCERNS AND FOR NOW THE CONSIDER THIS CASE CLOSED.
AS FOR DOCTOR BURKE.WE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO CONTACT HIM AFTER TODAY'S MEETING.BUT HE NEVER RETURNED OUR CALLS OR EMAILS.

AND LEFT WITH NOTHING.
WILLIAM ADAMS, ROBBED: they seen my wallet and it had something in it and they told me take everything out of my wallet
34 YEAR OLD WILLIAM ADAMS SAYS HE AND A FRIEND WENT TO A WELLS FARGO ATM NEAR CAPE CORAL PKWY AND DEL PRADO BLVD.
ADAMS SAYS ONCE THEY LEFT THE ATM AND WALKED TOWARDS BIG JOHNS PLAZA.
TWO MEN GRABBED THEM.
WILLIAM ADAMS, ROBBED: they commanded us to get against the wall like this and they pulled our hats like this so we couldn't see nothing and they went through our pockets and they made me pull out my wallet and give them the money
ADAMS SAYS ANY THOUGHTS OF FIGHTING BACK WERE SQUASHED ONCE HE HEARD AN UNMISTAKEABLE SOUND.
WILLIAM ADAMS, ROBBED: that's when we heard a gun cock basically it seems like a bullet was chambered
THE CROOKS STOLE SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS ADAMS HAD IN HIS WALLET.
MONEY HE SAYS HE NEEDS TO PAY RENT.
WILLIAM ADAMS, ROBBED: if I don't have it I don't have a house to live in and I will be put on the street if I'm put on the street I can get sick or put in the hospital
AND FOR ADAMS GETTING SICK COULD BE DEADLY BECAUSE HE HAS CANCER AND SUFFERS FROM SEIZURES.
WILLIAM ADAMS, ROBBED: I'm waiting for my landlord to come and tell me I'm going to be living on the streets and that's not a place I've ever been
NOW HE'S REACHING OUT TO LOCAL CHURCHES HOPING FOR A HELPING HAND.
BUT EVEN THERE HE'S COMING UP SHORT.
WILLIAM ADAMS, ROBBED: all they can say is they're sorry but sorry ain't gonna keep me in a place to live

Return to index of stories...
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
BRIEF COOL DOWN TOMORROW
Just like we anticipated Tuesday was sunny, dry, and warmer. That explains our week ahead pretty well, but there will be a couple speed bumps along the way.
The main speed bump will be felt by early Wednesday, as a few light showers will be possible as our next cool front slides through Southwest Florida around 7:30 AM.
The timing of the rain will be close to sunrise Wednesday, but the showers should be gone by the mid-morning hours, leaving us with sunny skies for the remainder of the day. Once the front clears the area, temperatures will stay fairly cool through the day as winds become more northerly behind the front; most areas should only reach the low 70s for daytime highs.
By Wednesday night into Thursday morning, we'll have another round of temperatures in the mid 40s across the urban corridor and even some mid to upper 30s deeper inland.
Thursday will be another cool day with highs only reaching the low 70s under full sunshine, and then we'll spend another night in the 40s and 50s as we head into your Friday morning.
Temperatures will be on the rebound again as we approach the upcoming weekend, and by Sunday afternoon, daytime highs will be back in the 80s. The weekend outlook looks phenomenal, too, with comfortable humidity and rain staying out of our forecast.
