P'ville board demands law firm name sources for report
PLEASANTVILLE 鈥?The Board of Education will pay a law firm for an internal investigation into insurance contracts, despite voting not to, the board president said Monday. But first, the firm must name its informants.
鈥淭hey will not be paid until those persons are identified," said President James Pressley, who is portrayed negatively in the report.
The board passed a resolution in March agreeing to pay DeCotiis, Fitzpatrick, Cole & Wisler no more than $50,000 for the investigation. An initial report dated April 4 alleged multiple violations of state law involving board members and district contractors. It also said two people claimed they were threatened with violence if they told investigators what they know.
But at the reorganization meeting April 24, the newly sworn in board opted not to pay the $28,704.10 bill.
