I posted on this topic a few weeks back. They are now holding another meeting that is to be closed to the public (Wednesday at 1.30pm). This time, GeorgeB, a local radio personality and self-proclaimed "Guardian and Protector of Civil Liberties" is holding a protest on the school board lawn starting an hour before the closed meeting is to be held. During that time, he has encouraged the local public to attend the protest and show their disgust by picketing, driving by and blowing their horn as well as attending a seminar that will cover the 1st amendment rights of citizens.
You can read more on it here.
Some questions:
-What are your thoughts on a publicly funded, public service, holding private meetings that affect parents and children who attend the public schools?
-In regards to the Sunshine Law, the only legal consequence is that whatever comes out of the meeting has no weight. This means that the meeting has to be held again and the only way the items discussed can be implemented is if the meeting is made public. Do you think the Sunshine Law is effective?
-Do you think this is a big enough of a deal that you will attend the protest?
-Do you think a protest is uncalled for and unneccessary?
-Why do you think this meeting is being closed to the public?
