Washington State School Director's Association's Amicus Brief is simply wrong

Our attorney has received an “amicus brief” from the Washington School Director's Association supporting the District's position. An amicus can apply to have a brief considered by the court, but cannot argue.

We will file a response to the brief. As our attorney, Keith Scully says: Their argument that this case sets a precedent for increased judicial control of local decisions is … wrong. Judge Spector's decision simply says that a school board has to have information supporting its discretionary decision.

A link to the Director's brief is listed to the left, under the heading “Legal Documents....” When we are ready to file our response, I'll post a link to it.

Regarding finances: The meter is on again; as the bills come in, I'll revise the fundraising tally and appeal for more financial help.

Thanks for your interest and thanks to those who have expressed support for this project.
