Executive
Director of Community Action Partnerships of St. Joseph, Whitney Lanning, is
out at CAPSTJOE.
Lanning
has been with Community Action Partnerships for 11 years, the last nine serving
as executive director.
The
Board of Directors has declined to renew her contract.
Lanning
serves on the St. Joseph School Board, which officially censured her following
a clash with fellow school board member, Isaura Garcia, after the February 26th
school board meeting. The two disagreed publicly, including during a tense
joint appearance with host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline, over whether the
district should adopt a four-day school week.
Lanning has been charged with misdemeanor harassment for the
confrontation that occurred after an executive session of the board. Garcia has
also filed a civil lawsuit against Lanning. Lanning has charged that Garcia
insulted her child during a verbal exchange.
