Board to Discuss Litigation in Closed Session

Shhh... on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 the Board of Education will hold a closed session to discuss "potential litigation" and then vote in open session.


Of course, the public has already read "potential litigation" from the "Board of Education". Their name is already on a pleading, their lawyer has already commented to the press about potential litigation, and their President has already made public comments to the press about "not crossing that line without a fight."  


Apparently, someone noticed that the actual "Board of Education" had not actually discussed or voted on any potential litigation documents and put "potential litigation" on the Agenda for Tuesday.  Good idea! 


Because to discuss potential litigation in closed session without disclosing that item on their agenda would be a violation of the Maryland Open Meetings Act.  


The Board of Education was cited for two violations of the Open Meetings Act last year.


Stay tuned for Tuesday, when the Board of Education will vote on "potential litigation" in open session after the closed session discussion.
