[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hilarious thing here... a law firm was retained, attorneys announced… where’s the lawsuit? Were there any laws broken? Is there a case?? Or is it that the money isn’t there to pay for the attorney fees?[/quote]

It would probably take a few hundred thousand to fight it and they probably raised what $20-30K at most.[/quote]

O how wrong you are [/quote]

Please share with us then.  Want to sue, please do it.  Great entertainment for us.  Maybe you will win.  Think about all that money on attorney's that could be used for new things for the new school. [/quote]

Their own announcement last night said that they were retaining the firm to "explore all available legal options to challenge the implementation of 'Modified Option H.'" They haven't filed yet because they haven't found something viable. I seriously hope parents are thinking twice before giving them money - especially since, in my experience, they're not willing to share the grounds for their action but VERY ready to share there will not be any refunds.

Pretty sure when people are about to sue a major school district, they aren’t going to broadcast all of their strategies ahead of the filings [/quote]

I don’t have any personal stakes in this so this is from an outside perspective but, why be so defensive that this is totally gonna work in an online forum that’s anonymous? If your case is so rock solid why the need to prove it here?

You may be right that you’ll cause an avalanche and win, but you have to admit that there has been a consistent degree of triumphalism from Wootton people since day 1 that makes people doubtful. The certainty that all the objections would lead Taylor to not choose Option H. The certainty that threatening to not vote for board candidates would alter the vote. Etc.

Your certainty here may be placed correctly, but the track record across these past few months, you have to admit, will make outsiders doubt you unless you share compelling evidence.
