OPEN MEETINGS LAW
View Webinar from von Briesen & Roper, s.c.
Recently the Wisconsin Supreme Court issued its decision in
Krueger v. Appleton Area School District Board of Education, 2017 WI 70, that will have a wide-ranging impact on schools, counties, and local governments across the state. In a broad sense, the Court determined that there are potentially numerous committees comprised of staff and administration that may now be subject to the Open Meetings Law - historically, the prevailing opinion from most local government and school district groups was that such meetings were not subject to that law.
Now, many are asking questions: What was the Court's decision really about? What are the practical ramifications of this ruling? What do public entities need to do going forward in order to comply with the law? While not all of the answers are clear just yet, local government and school districts have the unenviable task of making sure meetings of its employees do not run afoul of the Open Meetings law.
Please view a webinar hosted by Andy Phillips and Chrissy Hamiel of von Briesen & Roper, s.c. on July 7 to find out the implications for local governments.
The webinar may be viewed here:
10:00 a.m. von Briesen & Roper, s.c. webinar.
