Judge orders do-over after Colorado school board picked member in secret

Original: A judge said this Colorado school board picked a member in secret. Get ready for a do-over.

A Colorado judge has ruled that a local school board violated transparency laws by filling a board seat in private, and ordered the selection process to be redone in public. The decision means the board must restart its process for choosing the new member, with meetings open to residents. The ruling is being watched as a reminder that Colorado's open-meetings requirements apply even to board appointments.

Why now: A court ruling forcing a school board to redo a secretive appointment raises local concerns about government transparency.
