Is it poor judgement or abuse of power when a school superintendent uses the school district law firm to prepare her divorce papers, at the same time she has recommended the school board increase the contract with the law firm.
The Galveston Daily News has come up with a shocking example of the good old boy system in their school district. It involves bad legal advise and poor judgment. That’s a dangerous combination for a law firm serving Galveston ISD – or more likely, serving the Superintendent. This is the same law firm which advised the District to sue an AFP member for comments posted on her blog about the District.
The attorney for the school district said, “We do these things for clients. We do things for people all the time through the different school communities. We’ve gotten board members out of dog-bite cases and represented people’s children who get in trouble and need assistance.”
WOW! So the District’s law firm is actually a go-to-firm for folks who hire them and determine the size of their contract. Is this what those expensive contracts with school district law firms are for?

"I'll ask the board to increase your contract. You're doing such great work for me."
