WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Appleton Area School District Board of Education and Communication Arts 1 Materials Review Committee
Case No.: 2015AP231
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Court Error
John Krueger appeals a summary judgment order dismissing his complaint that alleged open-meetings violations by the Appleton Area School District Board of Education (“School Board”) and the Communications Arts 1 Materials Review Committee (“Review Committee”). Krueger argues the circuit court erroneously determined the Review Committee was not a “governmental body” subject to the open-meetings law. We reject Krueger’s argument and affirm. Additionally, we grant a motion to strike portions of Krueger’s reply brief.
