The Board of Directors met last week to discuss Pamela Lynn’s complaints, which had been the subject of a letter-writing campaign by her and others. Following that meeting, the WPA met at the school to discuss the problems.
According to those present, Pamela Lynn spoke for 55 minutes on the controversy, saying among other things that Miller and Bassett were engaged in “grand larceny” of the school from her mother-in-law, and that on July 1 the current board and administration was to be evicted and she would be setting up a new institution on the site with the school’s old name, Wakefield Country Day School.
She named several people who she said would be helping her in the new endeavor, some of whom were reportedly surprised at their inclusion in plans for the break-away school.
A vote of confidence in school president Dr. Alan Saunders and the sitting board passed by a 2-to-l margin. Pamela Lynn claimed Monday she could not remember how she voted, but others said the vote was clearly a referendum on her complaints, and she voted with the minority.
The reasons the deed has never been recorded, said Bassett, adding to the confusion about who can evict whom, are that the school is not zoned properly, that he is seeking an IRS opinion about the impact on Clydetta Lynn’s tax status and that banks are evaluating whether they are willing to transfer liability for the school’s debts from Clydetta Lynn to the Board of Directors.
Wakefield owes almost $800,000 for capital improvement projects, the school’s gym, and a line of credit with Farmer’s and Merchant’s Bank.
