A Douglas County judge ruled four school board members violated Colorado Open Meetings Law when they had a series of one-on-one conversations about terminating former Superintendent Corey Wise. While Douglas County District Court Judge Je rey Holmes ruled against the majority of school board members for a second time, he still declined to issue a permanent injunction.

In a ruling issued June 16, Holmes rea rmed that Douglas County Board President Mike Peterson and board members Christy Williams, Becky Myers, and Kaylee Winegar broke open meetings law by discussing ring Wise in non-public conversations last year.
