The Douglas County School Board of Trustees voted 4-3 in a contentious meeting to fire current legal counsel, who has served the district for over 20 years, in favor of controversial Reno-based attorney Joey Gilbert, who has no background in educational law and will cost significantly more money.

Gilbert stated that while he is not an expert, he will hire other outside law firms — including the firm the board chose to fire — who are experts in the educational field of law.
