PHM Board Pres. and Attorney ignore concerns they broke Indiana law

MISHAWAKA, Ind. — The President of the Penn Harris Madison Board of School Trustees, Chris Riley, attempted to brush off an incident in which he blatantly broke Indiana Open Door laws. The legal infraction occurred at the PHM Board meeting on January 9th where Riley took it upon himself to break Indiana law in an apparent attempt to maintain his leadership position. Votes were held at the meeting regarding who would be put into leadership positions, such as President of the board. Multiple parents had signed up to speak and criticize Riley’s leadership. However, Riley went against state law and held the votes without first allowing any public comment.
