A school district watchdog alleged that the San Juan Capistrano Unified School District violated
California’s open meeting law in reversing pay cuts to all employees without public input.
Peter Scheer, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, said the district trustees should redress the error by scheduling a hearing so the public can comment before taking a revote. While saying that he thought the trustees had not erred, the superintendent of schools said he would make a recommendation to the board to take a revote on the pay cut issue. -db
