County mayor sues school board

By Gary Nelson / gnelson@crossville-chronicle.com

Cumberland County Mayor Brock Hill has filed a lawsuit in Chancery Court against the Cumberland County Board of Education.

According to the suit that was filed Thursday at 2:20 p.m., Hill alleges that the special-called meeting the school board held Aug. 8 was in violation of Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) 8-44-101 et. seq. (often called "The Sunshine Law") and is therefore improper and illegal without adequate public notice.

The suit alleges the special-called meeting was called by the Cumberland County director of schools and not the chairman of the BOE. This meeting was the meeting in which the BOE made the decision to postpone the opening of Cumberland County schools for the 2008-'09 school year.

In the suit, Hill also alleges that the action of that meeting the students and citizens of Cumberland County have been irreparably harmed.

The suit also seeks the Cumberland County Board of Education to "revert to its previously and lawfully established school calendar and begin the 2008 school term immediately."

Hill was not available for comment.
