State Representative Pendarvis Releases Statement on Latest CCSD Board Meeting
State Representative Marvin Pendarvis today released the following statement regarding the CCSD Board of Trustee’s special called meeting:
“I believe that CCSD currently lacks a Superintendent, rendering any actions taken since the September 25th board meeting as potentially invalid and subject to legal challenge.
Specifically, during the said meeting, the Board voted to place Dr. Gallien on Paid Leave and appointed an interim Superintendent in his stead. In light of the Attorney General’s opinion, it appears that the Board itself acknowledges that the meeting and its subsequent vote were invalid, thus casting doubt on the legitimacy of the interim Superintendent’s appointment. Although the Board did vote to renew Dr. Gallien’s suspension and continue the investigation, no official vote was cast regarding the interim Superintendent’s appointment. Consequently, any actions undertaken in that capacity should be regarded as potentially unlawful and void.”
