Group sues to get board members removed

WARREN — Members of the Save Our Schools Committee have filed a lawsuit in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court seeking to get Brookfield school board members Joseph Pasquerilla, Dean Fisher and Steven Varga removed from office.

Atty. Michael D. Rossi of Warren filed the action Monday on behalf of the committee and the approximately 1,100 people who signed petitions that accompanied the lawsuit.

The three were elected in November 2005 on a platform of no new taxes for teacher salaries, but S.O.S. member Gary Reiser says their tactics involve micromanaging the system and having unreasonable expectations that the district can operate on the same money approved by voters in 1995.
