The district will pay law firms $285 an hour to represent the unidentified board members. District and state officials did not say who filed the complaints or why.
The board voted after emerging from a private session when board Vice President Josephine Garcia asked to address the issues discussed privately. With no other discussion, the district’s in-house attorney, Barbara Liss, read the first of four motions to hire the outside firms.
The resolution stated that New Jersey law requires districts to pay for lawyers to represent board members in ethics complaints related to their official duties. There were no votes against hiring the lawyers. The language of the resolutions, which was identical in all four cases, provided few clues as to who might have filed them or why, with each one stating only that it had been filed by “a member of the community.
The other controversy involves allegations by Black students at Newark’s predominantly Latino School of Global Studies that classmates have called them. Students and parents say their concerns have been ignored or downplayed by the district and the school principal, Nelson Ruiz. Some board members have discussed possible measures in response to the complaints, while others have taken it upon themselves to look into the matter independently of the board or the administration.
