Summary

We already had one account, from board member Becky Carson. As the board listened to a parent make a plea to have her child transferred to a different school, nude women allegedly appeared on the TV behind Walters.

[Third board member] Mike Tinney: He turned around, looked at it, got out of his chair very rapidly... He came back down and sat down in his chair, didn’t say anything. And we just kind of looked at each other like, "What just happened?" And then we just went back to work.
