Flint Journal Editorial: Credit Westwood Heights school board member Brenda Battle-Jordan for defending the public’s right to know after Michigan Open Meetings Act violation
Published: Wednesday, February 18, 2009, 6:56 AM
Public officials are rarely known to break ranks with colleagues and report wrongdoing, which makes it all the more impressive that Brenda Battle-Jordan has done just that regarding an illegal meeting of the Westwood Heights Board of Education.
Battle-Jordan took the no-nonsense approach of going to state police after the board made an important hiring decision — selecting Cresynthia Devereaux as principal of the Middle/High School — while in closed session.
Battle-Jordan took the no-nonsense approach of going to state police after the board made an important hiring decision — selecting Cresynthia Devereaux as principal of the Middle/High School — while in closed session. There are times when a public body may meet legally outside public purview, such as to discuss pending lawsuits, which drew the Westwood Heights board into a closed session last fall. Battle-Jordan’s complaint was that the board used the occasion to discuss hiring Devereaux, and in doing so violated the state Open Meetings Act.
This important law is meant to secure the public’s right to know, but it works only if those who see it flouted report the offense to authorities. Penalties can be as much as $1,000 for a first offense, and $2,000 plus jail for a second. Without whistle-blowing, public bodies that wished to meet conspiratorially could get away with it. Battle-Jordan’s bold response has helped to stave off any tendencies to fall into that conduct.
Among those who took notice was Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton, who affirmed recently that the board broke the law. Leyton is opting not to prosecute on a theory that the illegal meeting was held out of ignorance rather that malice. Prosecution would probably be overly heavy-handed, considering the chief wrongdoers have since studied the law and pledged to honor it in the future. But it is a stretch to imagine they had no idea in the first place that they were flouting a provision central to honest and ethical conduct of governmental business.
From a broader perspective, the incident seems to be a further indicator of controversy and dysfunction roiling Westwood Heights, evident by a rapid turnover of administrators and especially by a recall election set for Tuesday. Voters will then weigh in on the political futures of board President Danny Wilkerson, Treasurer Harold McIntyre and Trustee Chereathe Hollinger. The very attitude that lured this board into an Open Meetings Act violation probably has fueled the recall movement, too.
