Open meetings act flouted by State Board of Education: Quorum Report

[white cloud]

By Mark Lisheron
The State Board of Education violated state open meetings rules when it voted to support Gov. Rick Perry in spurning federal tax dollars for education and failed to notify the public by putting the resolution on its January agenda.

That's according to the Quorum Report, which is challenging what it says were two separate violations of the Texas Open Meetings Act. In addition to the January violation, the Quorum Report takes issue with the board's passage of a memorial resolution for a former board member that was not included on a recently published agenda.

1. Well why not violate the open meetings act?

It's not they adhere to any reality anyway?

And I wouldn't hold my breath on A.G. Abbott doing anything about it anyway. :grr:

I can not wait for the day the crazies on this board are a distant memory.
