OM 14-28 McCarthy v. Woonsocket School Board – No Violation and Ward v. Woonsocket School Board – No Violation

The Woonsocket School Board did not violate the OMA since the agenda items were sufficient to adequately inform the public of the nature of the business to be discussed. The agenda items indicated that the School Board was going to discuss and may vote on "Administrative Contracts/Job Performance" under R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-46-5(a)(1) and "Collective Bargaining (Local 1137 Contracts)" under R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-46-5(a)(2). The evidence revealed that the School Board voted to approve the Local 1137 contract and voted to extend the School Superintendent's contract. We find these agenda items were not misleading.
