No Public Input
Rationale:
The Weeping Water Board of Education will not be taking public input at this meeting due to the ongoing Hearing for Lori Lindau. The Board of Education is under strict instructions to not discuss or hear comments related to this matter.
The Nebraska Attorney General has ruled that school boards must accept all public input or no public input. Based on this ruling, the board cannot restrict public input at this meeting to matters not concerning the employment of Ms. Landau or any personnel matter that could indirectly reference Ms. Lindau. The board can hear all public comments or none. In order to protect the rights of Ms. Lindau and upon the advice of legal counsel and the hearing officer, we will not be taking public input at board meetings until the personnel matter concerning Ms. Lindau is resolved. |
