– A district court judge in Douglas County will decide a lawsuit over a claim of a violation of Colorado’s Open Meetings Law in the firing of Douglas County Schools Superintendent
The suit was filed by attorney and Douglas County resident Robert Marshall. Marshall claims the board’s newly elected four-member majority had a series of private conversations about the future of Wise as superintendent in January, before acting to fire him during a board meeting on Feb. 4. The law requires “All meetings of a quorum, or three or more members of a local public body, whichever is fewer, at which any public business is discussed or at which any formal action may be taken are declared to be public meetings.”“A meeting is ‘any kind of gathering, convened to discuss public business, in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication,” according to Colorado statute.
An attorney for the district said because the conversations occurred in a daisy chain manner, they were not covered.
