KANSAS — The board of education at Piper Unified School District settled a civil complaint April 2 that alleged violations of the state’s open-meetings law.
\n\n The seven members of the school board voted to pay fines for going into closed session at a December meeting to discuss the definition of plagiarism in relation to a cheating scandal.
\n\n Wyandotte County District Attorney Nick Tomasic said the board agreed to pay $250 per member and $1,238 as a whole in investigation and court costs for one of the five charges. In exchange, the other four charges were dropped.
