[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There are lawyers both on the School Board (Hynes and Moon) and advising the School Board, and they were comfortable that the Board was proceeding within its authority[/quote]

Yes, Pat Hynes is such a good lawyer that she told the others to take their comments on the change "off line" --I would assume in order to avoid FOIA.  Ironic that her comment was caught by FOIA.

And, there is some question to legality.  I doubt it will be challenged because it would be time consuming and expensive.  And, in any case, there is a big difference between "legal" and "ethical".  This process was certainly "unethical."[/quote]

Touche.  She should have just her called her colleagues on the phone and told them not to send them any more emails, rather than affirmatively put in writing that they should take it "off line."  But that happens all the time in any organization or business that anticipates potential FOIA or discovery requests, and it's hardly illegal to suggest that certain communications should not be put in writing.

In the grand scheme of things, that troubles me far less than McLaughlin misrepresenting her intentions to county residents in person.
