UPDATED, 2 PM: Martinez has filed suit alleging breach of contract and violations of the Open Meeting Law and asked to enjoin the district from hearing the agenda item. Both documents attached here. They are devastating.
Also, more details about the roundtable Saturday. Officials touting prominent businessman Perry DiLoreto's appearance to help strategize:
Ousted Washoe County Superintendent Pedro Martinez said Friday his attorney is filing a wrongful termination and breach of contract lawsuit against the Washoe County School District.
Martinez told me the lawsuit will be filed today.
Martinez also said Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto called his attorney, William Peterson, to tell him that the school district's agenda item for Tuesday to discuss the superintendent's employment status is illegal and that she also has informed the district. No comment yet from the AG's office, which has confirmed a pending probe.
"It has been improperly noticed," Martinez said of the Tuesday meeting. "They can't speak about me and my employment status. They need to give me five business days notice."
Martinez said Peterson was prepared to file an injunction if the AG did not act.
Reno is convulsed over the bizarre turn of events that began Tuesday when Martinez says six trustees informed him they were terminating his contract because he misrepresented himself as a licensed CPA, which he denies. The next day, district officials said he was only on leave with pay and a hearing would be held Tuesday.
There are rumbles of recalls, and the Hispanic community has rallied around Martinez. A Latino roundtable is scheduled for Saturday at 11 at the McKinley Arts Center with Martinez and Trustee Estella Gutierrez, who has criticized the action by the board.
Why do I think the district is not going to escape this without having to pay a lot of money to Martinez?
