Judge orders Davis District to halt its boundary study
The judge issued a temporary restraining order against the district on the basis that the Boundary Advisory Committee's closed meetings violated the Utah Open and Public Meetings Act.
A group of around 30 Davis parents filed suit this week claiming the district violated open meeting laws over the past couple of months while the committee ran the study behind closed doors.
"What we want in the end is for the district to be responsive and to be open and not hold these meetings in secret," said Andrea Edwards, spokeswoman for the parents group. "That is our ultimate goal to make sure everything is out in the open and that we know how decisions were made."
The district formed the committee in early September to conduct a district-wide boundary study in connection with the opening of an eighth high school in Syracuse next fall. The committee included members from city governments, school community councils and high school community representatives.
Thousands of district parents are upset about their students having to change high schools to balance enrollments.
A hearing will be held Dec. 11 to determine whether the judge's order will be permanent.
