俺的绝妙馊主意

俺读了一晚上BYLAW(旧版),突然灵光了一个方案。呵呵既遵循BYLAW框架又满足各党派要求,比离婚更积极可行。

1,首先董方(ZHU等)暂停新校章,全部外甥打灯笼...一切照旧。
2,校长家委会长董事董事长集体辞职,本学期结束生效。
3,就着董事会现在招聘的程序,所有会员都有候选人资格。
4,公布所有候选名单,候选人全校发表竞选演讲, 回答会员问题。
5,董事会不作任何筛选,全部交由会员民主选举投票产生新政府。
6,新老政权和平过渡。

这需要各方反复协商和博大胸襟,但比上法庭好过几条街。总之俺先抛块玉,大家尽管拍砖。

    1. That's exactly right. If everything is under the old bylaws, you cannot have 3-5. If the current board start the election of just next year principal and PTA, it should work too, but for the reason to prevent Hu and Liu from joining next year's board they're stuck with election of the entire board. In reality, if Hu and Liu want to go into the board and campaign for it, I'm sure they'll get in. I don't blame them to want to stay out of the school politics where most parents don't give a crap about the school one way or another.

      I disagree that settlement will be better than litigation. First of all the four board members don't recognize what they did wrong and have refused any meaningful negotiation. Then you have people in the BAC who have no skin in the litigation but every reason to let the new bylaws pass, especially BAC chairman, inject themselves into the negotiation and make settlement impossible. Finally after all these four board members did, it's time to teach them and Li Jianren a lesson that the laws are there for a reason. To make new laws, you have to follow the old ones first. No matter who you are, you have to take responsilibites for your own actions and no one is above the law. So if Zhu Li did anything fraudulently, he should go to jail. No question about that.

      As for the school, once illegal acitivies are out of the way, there're lots of ways to resolve the logistics. Let's just wait and watch a wonderful show first. The best part has yet to start.

    2. I don't want anybody goes to jail and I don't think this law suit will send anybody to jail unless Zhu Li does something really stupid in court. But I do think it's a lesson for all of us to learn that law needs to be followed, unlike what Li Jianren claimed in public that volunteers could do whatever them wanted according to their "良心”. People do things according to their own free will and by their own choice. But when what they did infringe on other people's right or the laws, they have to live with the consequences.

      =========

      It is hypocritical to say this now when you condoned, even supported, the repeated and numerous violations of the (old) HXNY Bylaws and NY states laws by the 5 Board members led by Gary GUO and Shengjing LI last school year.

      And where were you when HU was illegally elected and then staged the education "referendum" show against the (old) HXNY Bylaws?

      These acts are irrefutable facts that GUO/LI/HU are reckless, ruthless and heartless opportunists. It was these reckless opportunists that caused the chaos last school year and continue to push the school to the brink of another disaster.

      If they do take school volunteers to court again, they will surely be widely condemned by HXNY parents.

    ================================================
    尊敬的各位家长,

    自去年5月以来,纽约华夏中文学校纠纷就一直没有停息,最近混乱越发升级。如不制止,势必影响学校正常运转,威胁学校未来。

    超过2/3的家长在最近校章投票中,表达了全部直选董事会、校长和家长会会长的愿望。我们所作所为都是为了承担家长赋予我们的责任,帮助实现广大家长的愿望,制止混乱,开启学校的新开端。

    为学校稳定和发展,作为董事会成员,我们特此声明:

    * 我们认为董事会、校长和家长会会长全部重新直选是结束当前学校混乱的唯一方法。拖延选举就是延续混乱。

    * 我们会维护学校教学环境,确保学校日常工作的正常运行。

    * 根据新校章,我们不容许任何人用任何借口,未经选举非法连任或自动成为董事。

    * 我们将维护和尊重家长们对学校管理的意愿和权力,包括对教材的选择权。我们鼓励下任当选的董事会、校长,根据我们中两位董事倡议的模拟注册的结果,开设马立平中文,美洲华语和标准中文。

    * 我们将竭尽全力通过校内协商解决问题,化解危机,不首先动用法律手段。但如果个别成员或小团体对任何学校志愿人员进行讼诉,我们将严阵以待。我们也敦促各位家长反对任何激化矛盾的做法。

    中文学校是全体家长的学校。在这里,我们呼吁和恳请各位家长支持并参加董事会、校长和家长会会长全部重新直选,积极报名参选。举行公开,公正,透明的学校普选,把票投给您所信任的家长,选出新的董事会,选出新的校长和家长会会长。让家长真正当家作主。请有意参选家长,在2012年5月20日晚11:59分前,把参选报名资料 - stating the position the candidate is seeking, along with a brief resume and the endorsement signatures of at least 2% of the voting members (17 members or more) - 寄至董事会(hxnyboard@googlegroups.com)。

    我们坚信,在中文学校人人平等,任何现在或以往的任职人员没有任何特权,更不能把广大家长的学校变相地变成自己的私有领地。

    尊敬的各位家长,我们的学校已经处在16年来最紧要的关头,请您为您的孩子,为我们学校的未来,支持并积极参加董事会、校长和家长会会长全部重新直选。

  7. 不一致的在于,旧校章没有选董事的规矩 (现任校长,家长会长自动进入董事会). 新校章有选董事的LV规矩,每位成员选9位董事中的5位。得票最多的9位当选下届董事会。

    新校章还规定,家长人人平等。去掉了现任董事会筛选候选人的权利。 只要有2%家长同意,每位家长均可参选。

    这些都在新校章(见link)里,值得花时间念一念。

  9. LV is a complicated concept. Many people did not, some still do not, know how it works. They, therefore, did not like it.

    BAC did make compromise, increasing Board vote from 1 to 5 in the first election. There were diehard proponents of LV. It stayed in the final version of the Bylaw.

    If that is only issue preventing the new Bylaw from being more widely accepted, it is very unfortunate.

    1. That's a very elitist point of view, or rather, a factionist point of view dressed up as elitist.

That's not how democracy supposed to work.

      If you read Li Yongxin's arguments for LV (later those arguments were put in a BAC document by Li Jianren), you would understand those people are beyond convincing. LV was what they wanted and they are willing to use any flimsy reason to keep it in. Come hell and high water, they would push it through.

  10. +++++ 无论你如何分析,胡/刘都是非法的“校长”和“家长会会长” +++++

    1。他们的候选人资格是非法的。

    1)他们的候选人资格是在李盛京无故三次延期报名截止日期后挤进去的;
    2)董事会对他们的候选人资格的投票,没有达到法定所需有效的人数(需5位有效董事会成员)(当时只有4位非候选人董事会成员)。


    2。 “选举”本身是非法的。

    1)“选举”是在学期的最后一天举行,违反校章;
    2) “选举”的通知少于10天,违反纽约州的法律;
    3)主持 “选举” 的不是校章规定的合法的家长会。
    4)广泛报道的投票作弊,例如一张驾驶执照领两票,无代理票投票等
    5)80%HXNY家长抵制“选举。”
    6)“选举”是在五董用可疑文件欺骗法院命令的恐怖下举行。


    3。 “选举”的结果是无效的。

    1)合法的家长会会长在 “选举”之前,“选举”期间和“选举”后,均宣布:由五董操纵的“选举”是非法的,结果无效。
    2)多数HXNY的家长不承认“选举”的结果。


    总之,胡/刘说到天边去都是非法的。

  12. 董事会关于Bylaws和直选决议的问答

    May 12, 2012
    
    本周日是母亲节,祝所有的母亲们节日快乐!
    我们借此向一贯关心,支持中文学校的妈妈们(和爸爸们),致以最衷心的感谢!

    ---------------------------------------------

    问:5月6日《董事会决议》是如何出台的?董事会伪造了投票结果吗?

    答:董事会没有伪造投票结果。董事会公布的投票结果反映了真实情况与大多数家长的愿望,完全合法有效。

    5月6日的董事会会议通知在5月1日就已经发给全体董事和学校主要领导。5月6日出席董事会会议的董事包括了贺力大,李盛京,周菁,郑顾团和朱立五位董事。根据校章,参会董事五位,已符合quorum要求,董事会会议及其决议有效。

    5月6日的董事会会议按通知10点钟左右开始。李盛京和周菁二位董事稍迟了几分钟来到,然而在听到要讨论Bylaws后,他们就离去了,放弃参加投票,所以,他们的投票结果登记为“弃权”。开会之前,董事会主席专程找到雷明辉董事,提醒他务必要来参加会议。遗憾的是,雷明辉董事始终没有出现,也没有说明理由,所以董事会将他的投票结果登记为“缺席”。黄莺董事因故请假,通过Proxy投票。因此5月7日公布的董事会投票结果,完全符合校章,并且合法有效。

    实际上,这星期董事会还要召开一次董事会会议,通知已经发给全体董事,希望所有董事履行家长们赋予他们的职责,在学校的关键时刻,积极协助学校解决问题,制止混乱。


    问:有人说要把你们告上法庭。你们怕卷入官司吗?

    答:自去年5月以来,学校纠纷一直没有停息,而且有越发升级令人担忧的趋势,为了孩子们,为了学校,超过2/3的家长在最近校章投票中,表达了全部直选董事会、校长和家长会会长,结束混乱,重振华夏的愿望。我们四位董事所作所为都是为了承担家长赋予我们的神圣责任,帮助实现广大家长的愿望。

    我们无数次的竭尽全力提倡通过校内协商解决问题,化解危机。我们反对将公益学校的志愿者告上法庭,这样非常伤害现在和将来志愿者的积极性,也浪费学校宝贵的资源。然而如果有任何人对学校志愿人员进行讼诉,我们也不惧怕官司。我们为学校,为孩子们做事,问心无愧。

    另外,无论新校章还是旧校章,都规定了学校的志愿者一旦被告,学校有责任出资在法律上保护学校的志愿者(请参见新校章第12条, 旧校章第13条规定),我们不希望走到那地步。


    问:你们对学校的前景怎么看?

    答: 我们对学校的前景是乐观的,新校章的通过给我们带来了重新开始的难得机会。中文学校是全体家长的学校,人心思定。我们也认为董事会、校长和家长会会长全部重新直选是结束当前学校混乱的唯一方法。

    我们呼吁家长们支持并参加董事会、校长和家长会会长的全部重新直选,积极报名参选。 希望通过学校普选,让愿意为学校奉献的新家长站出来竞选,管理学校,不断提高教学质量 ,扩充教材选择,用更理性、更温和的方法处理学校事务,为孩子们创造学习中文平静,祥和的环境。

    请有意参选家长,在2012年5月20日晚11:59分前,把参选报名资料 - stating the position the candidate is seeking, along with a brief resume and the endorsement signatures of at least 2% of the voting members (17 members or more) - 寄至董事会(hxnyboard@googlegroups.com)。

      Dear HXNY Members,

      The HXNY Board of Directors held a meeting in AAB 104 on 5/6/2012 and discussed the voting results of the amended Bylaws and the upcoming school election (see the Board minutes below).

      The HXNY Bylaws Special Voting Committee has completed ballot counting for the voting on the amended HXNY Bylaws. The results are:

      YES votes: 259
      NO votes: 97

      The percentage of YES votes is 73% which exceeds 2/3 of valid votes. Pursuant to Article 5.03.3 of the current HXNY Bylaws, the Board hereby declares that the amended HXNY Bylaws takes effect immediately (新校章已由超过2/3家长投票通过).

      We are attaching a copy of the amended HXNY Bylaws (the new Bylaws) for your reference.

      We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Bylaws Amendment Committee for their dedication, professionalism, and selfless work in the past eight months. We also thank the school administration, PC and all HXNY members for their contributions to the Bylaws amendment.

      HXNY members have spoken. They demanded the school to move forward with a new beginning by having an open, fair and truly contested election of the entire HXNY leadership! We urge the current school administration and PC to respect the collective will of the HXNY members. We also urge all HXNY members to unite under the new Bylaws, to seek common ground, and to bring peace and normalcy back to our beloved school.

      We recognize that a significant portion of HXNY members expressed reservations about the amended HXNY Bylaws. We respect their choices. We will do our best to earn their trust and support.

      Pursuant to the new HXNY Bylaws, the Chairman of the Board of Directors herein announces the following openings for the upcoming school election (即日起开始董事会, 校长, 家长会会长同时直选):

      Nine (9) Directors of the HXNY Board
      One (1) Principal
      One (1) Chair of the Parent Council

      All eligible voting members are encouraged to exercise your rights and step up to run for these positions to lead our school out of the current crisis and to a better future. Those, who are willing to serve, should submit petitions for their candidacies to the Board of Directors (hxnyboard@googlegroups.com), stating the position the candidate is seeking, along with a brief resume and the endorsement signatures of at least 2% of the voting members (17 members or more) by May 20, 2012 (请家长报名参选, 报名11:59PM, 05/20/2012截止). An Election Committee consisting of Board members, Admin and PC representatives and general members will be formed to facilitate the election.

      The new HXNY Bylaws mark a new beginning for our school on a journey to eventual peace and prosperity. This journey may not be a smooth sailing. But, with your support, we are confident that we can build a better future together for our children.

      Li Zhu

    1. when you use sentence like this " the 5 board members forced HU/LIU down the throats of many parents;", then everybody knows which side you are on.

      If 黄董事 really told you the truth, you would know that HU/LIU's candidacy has nothing to do with 5 board members. There was another candidate, but 黄董事 called this person and persuaded this person to withdraw. HU handed his candidacy the last minute when learned this person withdrew. 5 board members didn't know that before hand. Also 5 board members called for extra candidates, only HU/LIU handed in their candidacy. It is time to get the truth out!

      Delete
    2. Last year what the 5 board members did at least was within the bound of the Bylaws. The same can not be said for what the 4 board members did this year for the 4/15 Bylaws vote.

      Not a single person so far is against direct election of the Board. The shenanigans in forming the BAC led directly to Limited Voting and led to the defeat of the new Bylaws draft. In contrary to someone said that LV was rejected because it's too complex for ordinary parents to understand, it would take a minute for any unbiased parent to understand why LV was put into the new Bylaws draft and why after 3 months failing to convince people (amazingly without a single meeting for
      people to sit together and debate), LV was still in there. If we had Simple Majority Rule, the new Bylaws draft would have been passed long time ago.

    3. If you turn a blind eye on all the illegal acts the 5 board members did last year against HXNY Bylaws and the NY state laws, there is no basis for any further meaningful discussion.

  17. 校章,就是治校之法。你不能说你只遵守你同意的法,而不遵守你不同意的法。更不能为了炮制出一个你同意的新法,而采用违法行为强制通过。

    三个董事开会30分钟,就能伪造一个五个董事开2个小时会六个董事投票的假决议来欺骗会员家长,这更是闻所未闻的丑陋行径。

    你们就这么守法吗? 有没有校章,对你们这些人来讲,有差别吗?
