MNPS ethics committee refers Aug. 13 board complaint to Metro Legal
Procedural step only; no finding on the unadjudicated complaint
NASHVILLE - The Metro Nashville Public Schools Board Ethics Committee on Oct. 7 referred a complaint the board received Aug. 13 about a board member to Metro Legal for a legal opinion, according to the official meeting recording.
The committee convened under board policy 1.106 and opened by electing a chair and secretary, the recording shows. Counsel told the committee its authority is limited to that Aug. 13 complaint, that committee records are open to public inspection under the policy, and that options include referral to the board attorney, further investigation or public censure, with any recommendation returning to the full board for a vote.
A member moved to refer the matter to legal; the motion was seconded, and members raised their hands. The chair said the committee will receive the Metro Legal opinion and schedule a separate meeting after that. The recording does not state the nature of the allegation, and the committee made no finding.
