The Pattersons sued in January, claiming both parties have defrauded taxpayers by failing to provide acceptable education to public school students.
Scott Marder, another lawyer representing the Pattersons in the case, said this is a unique approach, noting that past school lawsuits have tried to argue over civil and constitutional rights.
The lawsuit alleges that the school system offers “no benefit” to city residents and that it “completely fails to perform its most important function.” The parents claim that the city school system has poor student performance, a “pattern” of enrollment and grading scandals, and prior instances of false entries in public records, racketeering, mail fraud, theft and embezzlement. The suit aims to have the court impose oversight on the school system.
Meanwhile, Mayor Brandon M. Scott celebrated city schools CEO Sonja Santelises on July 5 to honor her for holding the position the longest since former CEO Alice Pinderhughes, the first woman to lead the system. At the event, Scott applauded Santelises for her work.
