KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The former high school biology teacher at the center of a cheating scandal said a Piper School Board member told her to get a lawyer as she was preparing to address the board Tuesday night.
Christine Pelton spoke at a school board meeting Tuesday night. Afterward, she told WDAF-TV that a school board member "told me I need to get my lawyer" before the meeting began.
Former Piper teacher addresses board, says member told her to get lawyer
Board President Chris McCord told the station he had not talked to Pelton before the meeting.
Pelton resigned after school officials ordered her to change failing grades given to 28 students whom she believed had cheated on a class project.
During the meeting, Pelton had no harsh words for board members. Instead, she thanked parents, students and administrators for the "wonderful experiences" she had during her year and a half at Piper High School.
mger this year and a man is telling her "I never would have made it through each day without knowing that the principal, vice principal, secretaries and all of the teachers at Piper were always behind me." Pelton told an audience of about 50 people at the meeting.
Pelton did not use the word "plagiarism" in her short address. She focused on how much teaching meant to her and said she planned to return to it eventually.
Also Tuesday, Arkansas City superintendent Jean Snell said former Piper High School principal Mike Adams has accepted a job as high school principal there.
Adams announced his resignation as principal at Piper High School around the time the cheating scandal came to light, though he has never said if it played a role in his decision. Snell said Adams will begin his new job Aug. 1.

CAMPUS Biologist to speak on DNA at University
A molecular biologist and University of Kansas graduate who earned a MacArthur fellowship will be speaking on campus today.
David H. Hillis, who won the $295,000 award known as the "Genius Award" in 1999, will speak on "DNA and the History of Life" at 3:30 p.m. today at room 1005 in Haworth Hall.
The lecture, one of several surrounding this week's KU Biological Sciences Alumni Advisory Board meeting, is open to the public.
James Orr, chair of the undergraduate biology program, said that 16 to 20 alumni from all over the country visited the University and sponsored events, such as this lecture, in conjunction with the alumni board meeting. Hillis is currently a faculty member at the University of Texas.
Before Hillis' lecture, an undergraduate and graduate research symposium will start the events at 2 p.m. with poster presentations in the foyer outside 1005 Haworth Hall. The presentations will resume at 4 p.m., following the lecture.

University leaders to address Legislature
Leaders of businesses in the state of Kansas, current and former members of the Kansas Board of Regents and higher education leaders will travel to Wichita today to call on the legislature in a press conference. The group wants the legislature to include revenue enhancements for the 2003 state budget so higher education is not lost. The state is facing a $700 million budget shortfall for the upcoming fiscal year in June.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway will be among those attending.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the group plans on two main statements. The first is that Kansas businesses depend on Kansas' graduates. The second point is that the group supports a state budget that protects public higher education and includes revenue enhancements.
"This is a cooperative event effort between all higher education, community colleges and technical schools," Bretz said. "In principle they all support that higher education is not cut."
