Board approves request to ask TASB for independent counsel in Schachter v. Moeller litigation
Summary
Board legal counsel recommended that the superintendent contact the Texas Association of School Boards to request independent counsel to intervene in lawsuit 1:24-cv-1143, Schachter v. Moeller et al.; the board accepted the recommendation and authorized the superintendent to proceed.
After a closed session the board reconvened Aug. 25 and heard from Michael Smith of Fowler Law Firm, who recommended the board delegate to the superintendent the task of contacting the Texas Association of School Boards to request independent counsel to intervene in lawsuit 1:24-cv-1143, Schachter v. Moeller et al. The board moved to accept the legal counsel's recommendation and the motion passed (Yea: 6, Nay: 0, Absent: 1).
The board's action authorized the superintendent to pursue engagement with TASB for independent counsel as recommended by outside counsel; the board did not publicly discuss further litigation strategy in open session beyond recording the motion and vote.
