[i]"On Monday afternoon, the Board of Education will meet in closed session to discuss “potential litigation related to the examination and analysis of school boundary data,” according to a notice posted on the school district website.

No lawsuits had been filed as of Saturday afternoon, but MCPS officials said they believe some community members will seek an injunction from a judge, which would legally prevent the boundary analysis to continue.

“We have gotten emails from people saying they’re going to file a lawsuit or injunction, so the board will meet to discuss potential arguments people would make and how we respond to that,” Derek Turner, an MCPS spokesman said on Saturday morning.

Turner did not say from whom the school district had received the emails and did not elaborate further.

Maryland’s open meetings law allows closed sessions to discuss pending or potential litigation to “prevent disclosure of the board’s legal position or strategy.”"[/i]

A lawsuit to prevent a board of education from paying a consultant for a study of school boundaries? Iamnotalawyer, but seriously?[/quote]

[b]If the BOE doesn’t follow the process for public notice and comment, if they use closed meetings inappropriately, if they use a tool that is based on racial quotas, etc they are not following our constitution. [/b] We may want diversity, but we don’t get to steamroll it into being, nor do we get to trample the rule of law to get there.

Not a racist segregationist, and also don’t want to see what this new Supreme Court would do with a school integration case. That’s the unintended consequence I’m afraid of.[/quote]

What does any of that have to do with the boundary analysis?[/quote]
