Mary Dewan has challenged her termination from the role of Santa Clara County superintendent of schools, claiming the board acted unlawfully and violated open meeting laws.
In her claim, Dewan's lawyer argued that the board did not have the authority to dismiss her and that prior meetings were not lawfully conducted, referencing specific violations.
Despite the dismissal being without cause, concerns were raised regarding potential mismanagement of funds related to the county’s early childhood programs.
The board’s decision came after a 4-2-1 vote, with public and private discussions surrounding the legality and rationale for Dewan's dismissal, prompting legal scrutiny.
