The Superintendent has announced the latest Advisory Committee, this one for athletic facilities and program improvements.
The announcement says: “Meet on a monthly basis beginning June 2015. Copies of meeting agendas and minutes shall be provided to the Superintendent.”
This, of course, suggests yet again that these meetings and its associated documents and minutes will not be subject to the Right to Know law – a completely untenable legal position for which the district has provided no written legal opinion.
Although motivated by good intentions and a laudable desire to address outstanding issues, it is abetting the subversion of the law for elected officials who are sworn to uphold the law to participate in these advisory committees when they conduct business outside of RSA 91-A. Here are your elected officials who are members:
- Lee Dube
- Dennis Heffernan
- Jack Sapia
- Sue Sherman
- Greg Spero
I expect these representatives to insist that all their meetings and documents be fully compliant with RSA 91-A. If the committee as a whole agrees otherwise, these elected officials should resign out of respect for the law and their constituents’ rights.
The announcement: ATHLETIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP
