On Feb. 26, a group of 108 “concerned staff and citizens” delivered a seven-page letter of complaints to the Danville Board of Education, alleging open meetings violations and a violation of “public trust.”

On March 1, school board attorney Vince Pennington delivered a response to the letter, issued under the authority of board Chair Paige Matthews, treating the group’s letter as a filing of formal open meetings complaint. Pennington denied the board had violated the Open Meetings Act.

The two documents are made available here in their entirety.
