[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This lawsuit is absurd. The SMOB doesn’t rule by fiat but is rather one vote.

People can disagree with an individual SMOB’s views and/or how the SMOB does their job—just as you can disagree with any other elected. But disagreement should NOT prompt an effort to strip students of their representation.

Goodness. [/quote]

I think the point of the lawsuit was to break the stalemate. Nothing good comes from zero movement on either side. The lawsuit fixed the glitch.[/quote]

These lawsuits are just like President Trump's desperate lawsuits to try to overturn the elections.  This is a group of people who dislike the results of the current political leadership and want to use a lawsuit to change the conditions of the votes to suit their goals.  It has nothing to do with legally or morally right.

Maybe we should have a lawsuit to strip one of the BoE directors in support of in-person voting of their rights.  That would make it 4-3 in favor of continuing distance learning and it wouldn't be the student BoE member's vote that caused the 4-4 tie.  It's the same issue; if you don't agree with the current results try to disenfranchise a large stakeholder group (say one district of homeowner/parents instead of the student body) to get your way.

It's ridiculous.  The current system requires 5 votes in favor to pass a resolution.  There have been 4, which is not enough to pass the resolutions.  So they fail.  That's the way it is currently decided.[/quote]

Well, in fairness, one of the resolutions that "failed" sought to work on a plan to return students to in person learning in the future. Such a ridiculous goal, right?[/quote]
