Board refers Rhonda Searcy litigation recommendation to the full board without recommendation
Summary
The committee considered a recommendation from general counsel regarding litigation filed by Rhonda Searcy against the school board and related parties; a board member asked for clarifying information in the memo and the committee voted to refer the matter without recommendation to the full board for action.
The Committee of the Whole considered a recommendation from Gwen Shamlin, general counsel, in the matter of Rhonda Searcy v. East Baton Rouge Parish School Board, Berkeley Insurance Company and Sandra Honore (suit number 669329, Division D, 19th JDC, East Baton Rouge Parish). Board member Martin asked counsel to provide additional clarifying information in the meeting memo before a final vote; he moved to refer the matter to the full board without recommendation and the motion was seconded. The committee recorded that the motion carried. No public comments were offered on the item at the Committee of the Whole; staff did not present additional details during the committee discussion. The referral means the full board will receive the general-counsel recommendation and any supplemental memo before taking a final vote or action.
