[edit] BOE lawyer delays contract release

"The Clarke County Board of Education will not release the salary or other details about the employment of a new superintendent until several days after board members voted unanimously to hire him.

The board approved a contract Thursday with Cobb County area superintendent Philip Lanoue, but refused to release the document until Tuesday.

While Georgia's open records laws require school boards and other government bodies to allow the public access to documents, the school board's attorney refused to let people know the details, saying the contract ought to be protected."
