Hill v. Fairfax County School Board
June 7, 2012 The court rules that certain exchanges of e-mails between members of a local school board did not constitute a "Meeting" within the meaning of Code § 2.2-3701 and, thus, did not violate the notice and open meeting requirements of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Code § 2.2-3700 et seq. We further consider whether the court erred in concluding that because the citizen requesting information under the FOIA had not "substantially prevail[ed] on the merits of the case," Code § 2.2-3713(D), she was not entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and costs.
