“It has come to my attention that the news media has been provided with false and/or misleading information regarding Anthony Byrne’s employment status with the board,” Dr. Freund said in his statement. “Mr. Byrne is currently on leave pending a voluntary retirement when he reaches eligibility effective April 1, 2010.

She Said:
According to district Director of Communications Kim Eves, Mr. Byrne was placed on leave with pay Jan. 4.
He Clamed Up:
Asked why he was placed on leave, Dr. Freund said he couldn’t comment because it is a personnel matter.
Mr. Byrne was responsible for helping chose contractors for school construction and maintenance.
The Post received unconfirmed reports last week that Mr. Byrne had been removed from his position due to allegations of receiving payments in connection with the construction of the new Hamilton Avenue School and the modular classrooms at Western Middle School, both of which proved to be controversial projects. Parents complained about shoddy construction and placement of the modulars, which eventually had to be closed and remediated after high levels of mold were discovered, and the school construction was years behind schedule and over budget.
But It Was Greenwich Roundup Who Filed A CT FOI Request And Went Through Hell As The Greenwich Time Silently Sat By And Ignored The Fraud Waste And Abuse That Is Hurting The Town's Children.
But When It Was Said And Done
Greenwich Roundup Got The January 4th
Memos About Anthony Byrne

Now Once Again The Clock Is Ticking On Greenwich Public School Superintendent Sidney Freund Has About 28 Hours To Admit That BOE Facilities Director Did Not Submit A Letter Of Resignation Or Request Administrative Leave Before January 4th.
Otherwise, Greenwich Public School Superintendent Sidney Freund Will Be Sued By The State of Connecticut - Freedom of Information Commission And Forced To Produce The The Public Documents Requested.
Then Freund Will Get A Criminal Record Like Former Greenwich First Selectman Jim Lash Got.
Moreover, Greenwich Roundup Is Going To Exercise His Right To Request To Ask That Greenwich Public School Superintendent Sidney Freund Be Fined For Wiyholding Public Documents.
The CT Freedom of Information Commission fined Hartford city attorney Carl Nasto $400 for withholding documents from the public. The city argued the case for over a year, insisting that Nasto was correct to withhold the documents, but in July 2008 a judge upheld the original ruling.
