Following Mr. De Bruyn's failureto provide me with any <br />documentation on enrollment, I contacted the senator in my locale <br />and attorney who requested a legal opinion from the Minnesota <br />Department of Education (1v1DE) on the legitimacy of defendant's <br />contention. <br />18. On or about January 25, 2008, MDE weighed in on the <br />interpretation of contained in M.S. 124.D. 10 Subd. 9(3) and <br />rendered an opinion which supported my position. <br />19. Subsequently, on February 11,2008, I met with Mr. De Bruyn to <br />discuss ramifications of the MDE opinion. Mr. De Bruyn advised <br />me that he disagreed with the MDE and indicated he would use <br />efforts to reverse the MDE opinion and/or seek an opinion from <br />the office of the attorney general reversing the decision because it <br />was bad policy that would negatively encourage more enrollment <br />of Ramsey residents based upon proximity to the school rather than <br />on his vision for the school. <br />20. Based upon information and belief, Mr. De Bruyn was not <br />prepared to change its current erroneous enrollment policy and/or <br />follow the mandates contained in M.S. 124.D. 10 Subd. 9(3). <br />21.
