Mass. Attorney General Is Asked to Review School’s Board
June 15, 2009 | Read Time: 1 minute
A group of parents whose children attend the Bartlett School, in Waltham, Mass., which recently closed because of financial problems, has asked the state attorney general to investigate the school’s board of trustees in connection with its financial decisions, reports the Boston Globe.
The parents allege that the board took “drastic action” in closing the elementary school and “failed to uphold its fiduciary obligations.’’
Michael Knight, president of the trustees, declined, through the board’s lawyer, to comment on the parents’ letter, but trustee Paul Casey said, “It is my understanding that we’ve lived up to, and more, our fiduciary responsibility.”
The attorney general’s office confirmed it received the parents’ letter and said it was reviewing the issue.
