Rick Sullivan, the new schools czar, tells the Post-Dispatch the district's longtime law firm, Lashly & Baer, are out.
Lashly & Baer has represented the St. Louis Public Schools since 1972. Since then, their contract has never been put up for review.
In June 2006, the school board passed a resolution making sure Lashly & Baer were the only lawyers that could ever be employed by the district.
According to a St. Louis Business Journal report, the resolution stated:
"The Board of Education hereby directs the Superintendent that effective immediately no attorney may be employed by the district or law firm contractually hired to represent the Board, the School District, its staff or employees, except the law firm of Lashly & Baer P.C."
Lashly & Baer is currently representing the elected school board in their fight against the state takeover.
