Our weekend in the musical immersion blender of EDC

We came. We saw. We guzzled energy drinks. We’re still seeing spots after the retina-liquefying spectacle that was the Electric Daisy Carnival.

Now, you’d need a fly’s compound eyes to even begin taking in all that EDC throws at you, from every direction all at once.

This being said, here are a few of a our takeaways after spending nearly 30 hours at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this past weekend fully engulfed in EDC 2017:

“Let’s hit the Wastelands, talk about our feelings.”-*

parts of the Edward Greer Education Center, where the School Board meets, but may enter only through the east side entrance directly into the board conference room. He also cannot enter the office of human resources without permission from the superintendent, the letter said.

Child can also access portions of the district’s administrative offices off West Sahara Avenue and will be escorted out when he is ready to leave, it said.

“You may not call or text any

CCSD employees directly,” Skorkowsky’s letter said, before spelling out a few exceptions. “These individuals will obtain for you information and documents that you request to perform your duties as a trustee.”

Child said he issued a cease-anddesist letter to Skorkowsky through attorney Gary Guymon after receiving the superintendent’s latest communique.

His response, which Child provided to the Review-journal in a text message Monday, argues that Skorkowksy has been enticing, coercing or harassing staff members to make damaging statements about Child.

“These statements, at your behest, are inaccurate and portray him in a false light,” the letter states. “Furthermore, it has been reported that you are knowingly repeating false or grossly exaggerated reports of

instances involving Trustee Child, with the foreseeable result of causing him emotional distress and damage to his reputation.”

The letter warns that Skorkowsky could face civil liability if he does not stop such behavior.

“It is apparent that your actions are motivated by personal animus and bad faith and exceed the course and scope of your employment,” the warning states.

Guymon could not be reached for comment Monday. His office said he was out of town.

Skorkowsky did not return a call for comment. District spokeswoman Melinda Malone confirmed that Skorkowsky received the letter June 7.

Additional employee complaints

In a statement, the district said Skorkowsky’s letter gave Child further direction on interactions with employees after it received additional employee complaints.

“The district cares about providing a safe and respectful working environment for employees,” the statement said, noting that the district had already given Child direction in letters from 2016 and 2017.

The letters are the latest friction between Child and the school district, which received complaints about his behavior around staff and students dating back to before his election in 2014. A district investigation of Child concluded that he created a hostile and intimidating work environment, causing anxiety

among female employees, who labeled him “weird” or “creepy.”

The Review-journal sued to obtain copies of such complaints after a public records request was not fulfilled. So far, the district has released more than 28 documented complaints, incident reports or email threads about Child.

Child has consistently argued that the complaints are an attack on him because he is asking tough financial questions of the district. He has since called for a forensic audit of the district’s finances, noting that his questions on expenditures have been unanswered.

“There’s a lot of stuff that I have grave concerns about,” Child said Monday. “So again, (Skorkowsky) wants to play this childish game.”

Emails between Child and Skorkowsky show that the trustee has asked for financial details on various actions by district employees, including budget transfers approved by upper-level staff. While Skorkowsky wrote that some of those answers were outlined in previous meeting materials, he told Child that other requests need to be brought before the entire board.

“There’s nothing there,” Child said of the accusations against him. “Zero. He’s playing a game. (There’s) nothing there.”
