Judge dismisses suit against 3 Brookfield board members

WARREN — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit to remove from office three members of the Brookfield Board of Education.

In seeking the dismissal from Judge W. Wyatt McKay of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court, the Brookfield SOS Committee Inc., a group of citizens living in the school district, says it will renew its effort to remove the board members.

This precludes a status hearing on the dismissal scheduled for Thursday before Judge McKay and trial that was scheduled to begin Friday.

The original lawsuit was filed Aug. 13 by SOS to remove Joseph Pasquerilla, Dean Fisher and Steven Varga from office.

But on Aug. 31, the three board members asked the court to dismiss SOS’s complaint because the allegations against them were not specific.
