WHITE PLAINS LAW JOURNAL. From the French American School of New York. November 4, 2014:

A spokesman for the French American School of New York has just informed WPCNR that the Gedney Neighborhood Association legal action claiming the City of White Plains environmental review of the French American School of New York plan to build a central campus on the former Ridgeway Country violated the open meetings law has been denied by the courts.

Geof Thompson, spokesman for FASNY issued this statement today:

“We just received the judge’s decision dismissing the only remaining GNA (Gedney Neighborhood Association) claim in their lawsuit against the City of White Plains. As you know, GNS’s other claims were dismissed by the court earlier.

This is an important decision finding that the City did NOT violate the Opening Meetings Law.

One other important note: The decision mentions that FASNY’s counter claim was also dismissed. Please do not interpret this as FASNY having “lost” the case. FASNY merely argued that the remaining claim of GNA was not “ripe” on the merits, and the Court agreed which resulted in FASNY’s position being upheld and as a result, that aspect of the matter was simultaneously dismissed.”
