Conflicts?

Bond Salesman for North Star pressures North Star board to appoint Joe deVera to North Star board. (See the public document from Jim Blandford to Kerri Pickett)

Notes from the Interview with Joe Devera on (3/17/2010) stated in his interview with the North Star Board the following:

Have you acted as an agent or received any compensation from R.W. Baird or Jim Blandford or anyone else associated with our Bond or any other Charter School Bond in the State of Idaho?
Jim Blandford asked me to introduce him to Compass to help them work through possibility to finance a school. I introduced the parties and talked through the scenarios. I didn’t receive any compensation. I do consider Jim a friend because he’s taken care of our school. I introduced a friend to a good charter in hopes that they would be able to help each other out. No money has changed hands.

Is there a list of promises made to R.W. Baird on behalf of North Star from Joe DeVera?
No and I will put this in writing in the form of a resolution.

Are you willing to share all correspondence between he and all R.W. Baird employees and subcontractors since not being on the board at North Star Charter School?
Sure—absolutely. I find it interesting that people (or whoever is asking this question) are willing to dig my dirt up and not stand up on this board and face their own problems.

It is reported that Joe deVera, alone, met with Compass Charter School at the January 14th meeting. It was reported that he discussed the North Star Bond and the process the school went through to get it.  Allegedly, deVera recommended Jim Blandford as a person for Compass to use to obtain a bond.  It appears that he contacted Mr. Blandford for the school. Subsequent to that, it is reported that both Mr. Blandford and Mr. deVera together met with several members of Compass Charter's board and staff to discuss the possibility of a bond for Compass.
