A Griffith Public Schools Board of Education member has resigned in the aftermath of a censure vote taken against her Thursday night — a measure of which she herself voted in favor.

Former Board Member Jennifer Gooldy also filed a second police report against GPS Superintendent Leah Dumezich for threatening to sue her after the Thursday night School Board meeting. The report was the second Gooldy filed against Dumezich in two weeks.

In her written account of the events to police — which coincide with the minutes taken at the Feb. 23 executive session — Tracy Whitman, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, stated that Gooldy “quickly became agitated and seemed to stay angry, and that she had to ask her not to raise her voice at her.

Gooldy demanded an apology from Dumezich when Jacques brought her back into the room, but she refused, according to Whitman’s statement and the executive session notes.
