LitigationY Update
Attorney Doneski updated the Committee on the status of the TLT litigation. There have been
several delays and he feels there may be no action on this litigation until 2016. Mr.. Doneski
asked the Committee on direction regarding the possibility of a settlement offer. A possible
settlement in a separate litigation may make TLT more receptive to a settlement proposal.
The School Committee would like counsel to move forward with the settlement discussions with
a starting point of $850,000.
Dr. Doherty pointed out that if there is a settlement it may be reimbursable by the MSBA.
Mr. Doneski left the meeting at 10:35 p.m.
Possible Litigation - Modulars
