According to a Detroit Free Press article, a member of the Highland Park School Board filed a lawsuit last Thursday because the board allegedly violated Michigan’s Open Meeting Act by using a telephone vote at a recent board meeting, and misrepresented some of the members’ votes.
The current board president has requested that the board fund her $150 cell phone bill - and via a phone vote, the board allegedly agreed to do so - and they even decided to post-date it so she received a $5,700.00 check to reimburse her for all her cell phone bills throughout her term to date.
The board member who has filed the lawsuit is a former board president whose cell phone bill was also paid by the board - however he claims he had to provide a receipt or bill for the amount he was paid every month. He alleges that the current president does not have the same requirement, and therefore should not receive the stipend for the post-dated months.
