Resident tells Millcreek Township SD board of alleged legal misconduct, urges scrutiny of legal fees
Summary
During a July 17 special meeting a resident, identified as Mr. Aliotti, accused district officials of approving legal fees in a federal complaint and urged the board to consider legal accountability; the board did not take action on the allegations during the meeting.
A Millcreek Township resident, identified in the meeting as Mr. Aliotti, used the public-comment period at the July 17 special school board meeting to allege corruption, question the legality of board-approved legal fees in a federal complaint and say he believes the district is silencing him at public meetings.
“Do you really know what has happened in the past 10 years at MTSD? Why are you, as school board directors, still approving legal fees in the federal complaint, which a previous judge has already established violations of laws, both at a federal and a Commonwealth level?” Aliotti told the board during his three-minute allotment.
Aliotti told the board members he planned to send them an email and said there are “at least 7 or 8 attorneys who are shareholders at the Knox law firm who will be called as witnesses in the federal case or complaint.” He urged the board to consider the district’s use of taxpayer money for legal fees and to consider accountability under the law.
The board did not discuss or act on the allegations during the meeting. The public-comment exchange concluded and the board proceeded to the personnel report and other agenda items.
