Will This Board Retreat Comply with Law?

The MCPS Board of Education Calendar shows that a Board Retreat has been scheduled for December 15th at 9:00 AM.  No information is given as to the agenda or location for this retreat. 

On October 27, 2009, the Open Meetings Compliance Board cited the MCPS Board of Education for violating the Open Meetings Act with regard to Board retreats held over a 3 year period under Board Presidents Nancy Navarro and Shirley Brandman.  The decision is below.  This is the second time this year that the Board has been cited for an Open Meetings Act violation.

Will the December 15th retreat comply with the Open Meetings Act, or will the Board of Education continue their past practice of not producing minutes of retreats, and taking up public business outside the public view?
