In what appears to be a politically contrived scheme, Hossain has been prevented from voting on Board issues since the January, 2021 reorganization meeting to the present.
Hossain voted for John Devlin to continue as Board of Education President.
The Board Solicitor determined that Hossain was ineligible to vote. The Board Secretary recorded Hossain’s vote, however, it was determined after the fact, that his vote would mot count.
