When you can't have closed meetings, schedule conflicting meetings

This was in last week's Trib.   Mt. Lebanon officials won't agree to closed meetings

"It's a gray area, and I err on the side of caution," said Mt. Lebanon Solicitor Philip Weis, who advised the commissioners that the meetings would be better off open to the public.
"We'd rather give (the public) more than give less and be at fault," Miller said.
Posti, who took over as board president in December, said she wanted to schedule the meetings to foster more communication between the school district and the municipality.

Brumfield initially voted with commissioners DeIuliis and D. Raja for the closed meetings as long as they had some method for public review, such as published agendas. But after Weis reviewed the law, Brumfield said he changed his mind.

School Board Disease is spreading rapidly

President Josephine Posti would like to continue meeting with the Commission, but you guessed it, the meetings would be closed to the public.  On Tuesday, January 11, the Commission decided to send two Commissioners to meet with two members of the School Board on a quarterly basis, against Dan Miller's and Matt Kluck's votes to hold the Joint Steering Committee meeting openly. 
Josephine Posti, do you seriously think this is what the public wants?  Closed meetings?  Lack of transparency is the first symptom of School Board Disease.
