OK state board of education struggles with legal representation
SUMMARY: The State Board of Education recently dismissed its general counsel and hired an attorney from the Attorney General‘s office at a lower rate of $85 an hour, compared to the previous attorney’s $300. Attorney General Drummond criticized the board for disregarding legal advice. The meeting, which began under the new attorney, was marked by surprise and confusion regarding the legal switch. Some board members believe the AG‘s attorney should remain. The board must now decide whether to retain this attorney, hire external counsel at a higher cost, or consider in-house legal representation. Many agenda items were postponed due to these changes.
