It's not uncommon to have outside counsel involved when the decision/action being questioned originally came from in-house counsel.

This is common practice basically everywhere. I don't see the problem.

Sure, but why keep lawyers on staff who don't do anything? They could hire more teachers. Either way, money is being wasted here.

Silly question. Do you see a infectious disease doc for a broken leg? Different lawyers have different specialties.

Please name the different specialties that are needed by a Board of Education of a public school. There are people that claim to be education lawyers, but clearly that isn't enough for you. What are the other specializations that Boards must hire?
This post was about the same lawyer in the meeting, violating the law and writing a response to defend her violation. She did it all.

For starting: Contract law, ed/special ed law, real estate law, and HR law are all very different fields that MCPS would regularly need.

Then why is the BOE hiring one lawyer and paying her by the hour to sit in their closed meetings and then hiring her again to represent them when she violates the law? If they have this whole stable of lawyers, where are they?

Why can't they have a lawyer on staff (paid MCPS salary) to sit in their closed session meetings and violate the law?

I’m a lawyer and I take your point but an open records act issue is a very basic function for an in house government lawyer. It’s not like responding to a 1983 suit. I also wonder what on earth the in-house lawyers do, if it is not this.

Why do admin get promoted when they fail to report crime and violence. Its because they are corrupt. Period.
