It would seem they are taking a page from Clayton County, GA's playbook. Several parents there filed a similar suit here is what happened next...

"Meanwhile, Judge Michael Malihi has ruled that four Clayton County board members should be removed for violating their oaths of office. Governor Perdue had asked the judge to look into complaints against Michelle Strong, Sandra Scott, Lois Baines-Hunter, and Yolanda Everett. All four were declared guilty of violating the state's open meetings law, violating the board's code of ethics, and breaking the public trust."

"Thursday, Perdue issued an executive order ousting four members of the school board. Special elections will be held in November to replace Scott and Strong, while Baines-Hunter and Everett will be barred from running again -- they were up for election this year. "

For those of you wondering why Baker settled without bringing the facts into the Sunshine...it was simply because he was given a deal too good to pass up. The School Board released him for any and all liability in future lawsuits...and there are some really big ones coming up!
