Matt LIED about football games.

 

 

On August 28, 2025, Matt posted this online:

 

 

Look at that paragraph beginning "to do so requires a board majority."

 

He's implying that the Board made the decision to move to 6:00pm start times for football games.

He's further implying that it was Kacy Deschene, Jeff Simon, and Michelle Langenfeld who made the decision.

 

THIS IS A LIE.

 

As the Superintendent reported at the August 25, 2025 meeting, the decision to move football start times to 6:00pm was made by many schools in a large region.  Their reasons included safety, less stress on law enforcement, and the fact that schools that had already done this saw an increase in attendance.

 

At the August 25 meeting, it was JEFF SIMON - not Matt - who brought this up and asked for a further review to be done.  Matt simply agreed with Jeff.

 

But he's taking credit, and he's blaming people who had nothing to do with it.

 

Shouldn't a School Board member be honest with the public?

 

 

 

 

 

Is Matt talking to people in his official capacity as you would want him to?

 

 

There's a record of Matt speaking dismissively and disrespectfully to anyone who questions his views, critiques his positions, or simply disagres (usually online or in email).

 

Don't you want a School Board member who is courteous and appropriate in their official communications?

 

Here's an exchange on Facebook between a District instructor.  It took place after Matt made a post on June 30 about things he would change in the law.  Each of the comments shown that aren't Matt's belongs to this instructor.

 

 

(Even though the Facebook group Matt created is Public, we are covering up the name and likeness of the teacher since she isn't a public official.)

 

 

Do you see how he accuses the teacher of the very thing he himself is doing? 

 

(As we have documented in this site, Matt regularly spreads misinformation, especially about things like Critical Race Theory, systemic racism, Social Emotional Learning, equity, and more.)

 

Did you also notice how dismissively he speaks of the teachers' union and the laws that our Legislature has put in place to protect students?  (The laws in question are ones that govern disciplinary measures for disruptive students, including ones with disabilities.)

 

 

"Cute."

 

"Please."

 

If someone were to reply to you in a conversation in this way, would you think it was respectful?

 

This teacher doesn't.  She goes on to say so.

 

 

 

When the teacher names his disrespectful language, Matt doesn't apologize.  He doubles down.

 

Do you think Matt would tolerate it if a student talked to him that way?

 

In the end, Matt dismisses the teacher entirely as someone he figured all along was supporting his opponent.

 

Should an elected member of our School Board speak to ANYONE with such a condescending tone?
