More School District Legal Bills

Thanks to Richard Ilgenfritz, in a Main Line Times article you can find here, we learn that our favorite school district will spend close to $650,000 this fiscal year for legal services provided by its solicitor, Kenneth Roos, and his colleagues at Wisler Pearlstein. And, while that's a lot of money, it does not include the legal fees being paid to the Ballard Spahr and Morgan Lewis law firms. One thing that is especially disturbing about this is that one school director, Melissa Gilbert, wanted to table a motion to re-appoint Mr. Roos in order to consider other options, but no one else on the board would even second her motion. That's right, except for Dr. Gilbert, no one on the board even wanted to slow down and examine alternatives. Remember: it's your money.
