The Parma, Ohio School Board has requested an opinion from the Ohio Attorney General in connection with a taping at one of their meetings. The request asks the AG's office to determine whether any public records (and presumably open meetings) laws were violated when Board President Rosemary Gulick directed that a tape which was being made be stopped and rewound when the Board discussed the Superintendent's employment contract. The AG's office provides a page on Ohio's Sunshine Laws as well as an online Open Meeting Complaint form.
