[edit] Lawrence School Committee member gagged

"As part of a new policy that appears to violate the state's Public Records Law, Superintendent Wilfredo Laboy said he will no longer answer written requests for information from School Committee member James Vittorioso.

School administrators will also stop giving Vittorioso reports or copies of information that was previously provided or not related to issues on the committee's agenda,

"We have spent considerable time completing reports or writing up responses to questions that could have been addressed through a phone conversation or a brief meeting with me," Laboy wrote Vittorioso in an Oct. 3 memo titled "weekly requests for information.""
