State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister wants a standards committee created by the Legislature to be subject to the open meetings law, she told the State Board of Education today.
Sources say an ally of former Superintendent Janet Barresi, Amy Ford, is chairwoman of the committee. Hofmeister, however, managed to get herself appointed to the committee as well in a move approved by the board.
There are three state board members on the standards committee, and board member Bill Price stepped down so that Hofmeister could replace him.
Had she tried to attend, there would have been four state board members present and constituted a violation of the meetings act.
