California: Rio school board sued for allegedly failing to comply with open meeting law

A citizen has filed suit claiming that the Rio School District board of trustees failed to adhere to the Brown Act, the state’s open meeting law, in holding closed meetings before firing the superintendent.

The school administration says that board listed the topic on the agenda as required by law, but the citizen said that there was no clear indication that the superintendent’s firing was in the works and no chance for the public to make any comment. -db
