What you have described is clearly an attempt to keep people in the dark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453432983342577693.post-73161096332653917172012-12-20T08:09:09.608-06:002012-12-20T08:09:09.608-06:00My understanding is that the ASD is subject the us...My understanding is that the ASD is subject the usual open records requests, but that the executive branch (of which the ASD and the Dept. of Ed.) is not required to hold open meetings.<br /><br />I was referring to the AAC, the ASD's appointed committee. I looked at it the same way I look at the TPC - if there are more than 2 of them in a room, it has to be disclosed publicly as a public meeting and posted 48 hours in advance of the meeting. I attended an ASD meeting where a question was asked about whether the sunshine laws apply to the AAC, and the ASD government official informed the group that the sunshine rules did not apply.<br /><br />The ASD's policy about how to invite people to its neighborhood meetings is a different matter altogether. I'm sure that the ASD would tell us that they are public meetings, and that no one is turned away. For me, the problem is how to find out about the meetings - since they are not posted on the ASD website. The media is finding out about them, so that's good, but it's very difficult for the general, interested public to find out about them.Watching in Memphisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453432983342577693.post-79815349552423377452012-12-20T07:49:42.629-06:002012-12-20T07:49:42.629-06:00Can you offer some more details about the ASD not ...Can you offer some more details about the ASD not being subject to open government laws? I'm just flabbergasted that this is legal. It's meetings aren't open, and it's not subject to open records requests? This is astonishing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
