Allegations of FOIA Violations Within Stamford Board of Education
May 12, 2025 - 11:01
Board of Education Vice President Andy George has raised concerns regarding potential violations of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by fellow board members. In a recent statement, George criticized the use of the board's official letterhead for communications that he believes do not adhere to transparency standards mandated by FOIA.
George's remarks come in the wake of a letter circulated among board members, which he argues was improperly utilized to express opinions that should have been discussed openly in a public forum. He emphasized the importance of maintaining transparency and accountability within the board, stating that such actions could undermine public trust in the educational governance process.
The controversy has sparked a debate among board members about the appropriate use of official communications and the necessity of adhering to legal guidelines intended to promote openness in government operations. As discussions continue, the board faces scrutiny from both the community and legal experts regarding its compliance with FOIA and the implications of this situation for future governance.
