Discord Greets CdA School Board
Item: Trustees dispute validity of board: New officials: Declaration of vacancy was illegal/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press
More Info: The first regular meeting of the newly formed Coeur d'Alene School District Board of Trustees was marked by discord. Tom Hamilton and Terri Seymour, who were elected in May and sworn into office on July 1, filed a complaint in district court Wednesday alleging that the process the board followed when former board chair Edie McLachlan resigned on May 19 was illegal. It further alleges that the appointment of Wanda Quinn to complete McLachlan's term is invalid. "We're hoping for an administrative solution," Hamilton told The Press prior to Monday's board meeting which Quinn presided over as chair.
Question: Do you think Hamilton & Seymour are more interested in imposing their ideology on the school district or helping the district work through Tom Luna's education reforms?
