Three administrators of the Coachella Valley Unified School District are suing the district claiming the trustees violated open meeting laws. In a closed session in January, the board placed the three administrators on leave.
In My Desert, Michelle Mitchell reports, “The trio’s lawsuits accuse the district of violating the Ralph M. Brown Act, which governs public meetings, because nothing on the board’s meeting agenda mentioned that it would vote on any actions against the administrators. The lawsuits also contend that board members came to an agreement about this decision by communicating outside of an official board meeting.” -db
