RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - An expert on the First Amendment says a North Carolina school board violated open meeting law when they voted to place the superintendent on administrative leave, but the Wake County school board's attorney disagrees.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that attorney Hugh Stevens said board members should have voted in public Tuesday instead of behind closed doors when they decided to place Superintendent Del Burns on leave. Stevens has represented media outlets in open meetings cases.
School board chairman Ron Margiotta and board attorney Ann Majestic says members acted within the law because no one was hired or fired.
Burns said in February he would resign June 30. He criticized the board's plan to end busing for socio-economic diversity.
