Members of the USD 286 Board of Education receive a fine for violating the Kansas Open Meetings Act. Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach says board members will each pay $100 in civil penalties and attend additional KOMA training. After an investigation, Kobach’s Office determined that school board members violated KOMA by using executive sessions to discuss topics that were not appropriate, by making improper motions for executive sessions and by failing to comply with nearly every statutory requirement for such motions. Additionally, the board’s meeting minutes did not accurately reflect the verbal motions made.
