Daniel Schwartz, the Orthodox Jew who is president the scandal-plagued East Ramapo school board and affiliated with the haredi faction that dominates it, motions to haredi board member Moses Friedman to leave the meeting room so the board loses it quorum. When the quorum is lost, the public cannot speak and votes cannot be taken. Schwartz – an attorney – promptly adjourns the meeting, cutting off the public comment called for by law.
