Board retains current legal counsel and limits who may contact attorneys
Summary
The board voted to keep its existing general and bond counsel firms and amended the motion to specify that only the superintendent, board chair and vice chair (or their designees) may contact legal counsel on the district's behalf.
The Long Prairie-Grey Eagle School District Board voted to retain its current legal counsel (Squires, Waldspurger and Mace; Ratwik Roszak and Maloney as general counsel; Kennedy Graven as bond counsel/election support) and added a restriction on who may contact counsel. During discussion the board amended the motion to state that the Superintendent, Board Chair and Vice Chair, or whomever any of these designate, are the only ones authorized to contact legal counsel on behalf of the district.
The board recorded the amendment and approved the motion unanimously. The minutes reflect that the amendment was introduced to clarify who has authority to reach out to outside counsel, with the intent of centralizing communications and avoiding unauthorized contacts.
