When The Dispatch asked for clarification, district general counsel Larry Braverman said that the Columbus Board of Education's seven-members gathering wasn't "official business." So what was it? A party? Why was the district providing free meeting space for something that wasn't official business? And isn't ethics training something directly related to an elected board member's official activities? The trainer from the Ohio Ethics Commission made clear to reporters as she was leaving that she was there on official business — and being paid for it — regardless of what the board was there for.
