California: Judge dismisses open meeting lawsuit against Capistrano schools
Schools watchdog Jim Reardon lost his suit against the Capistrano Unified School District when a judge ruled the district properly dealt with an alleged viiolation of California’s Brown Act, the open meeting law. After Reardon challenged the district over a March closed door meeting to partially restore pay cuts to employees, the district met again to vote a second time on the issue. Reardon claimed they should have also admitted to violating the Brown Act.
