School board member says she was denied access to records

By Antonio D. French

St. Louis Board of Education member Veronica O'Brien says she was denied access to district records per instructions from district lawyers.

In an email to Board President Darnetta Clinkscale, which was forwarded to the media by ex-board member Bill Haas, O'Brien says she was offended by the denial.

She was later allowed access. "I told them I was coming over with TV cameras and then Ken called and said I could be allowed in," she wrote to Haas. "Are they out thier [sic] minds?"

Here is the content of that email to Clinkscale:

Subject: Request to View Records In Archives

Darnetta,

Please note that I have been denied access to review records in our Archive location. Your assistance in this matter is appreciated. Apparently, your lawyers instructed the archive office to deny my entry into the building. Please note that my goal was to review records not steal anything. I am offended at this attempt on the part of your office.
A prompt response is appreciated.

Thank you,
Veronica O'Brien
