Update: Here is another incident for Mrs. Posti to address.

"While SB1 was originally targeted to families making under $29,000 in failing schools or school districts, as amended SB1 would offer vouchers to families earning up to $67,000, even if they live in top school districts and even if their children have never set foot in a public school."

Let's see how many others we can find, folks.
The School Board President has apologized and corrected her Center Court blog to include sources for the three incidents that were exposed on this blog. She was caught. So what will become of this? Probably nothing. Are there any students who were caught plagiarizing? Were there any consequences? Feel free to comment here. I am opening this up again to accept anonymous comments, just for this particular subject. If it is appropriate, I will approve it. Parents, we have a School Board President who basically says, "Do as I say, not as I do." What if you had a child who was caught plagiarizing? Were there any consequences? There should have been, according to the District website. How do you feel knowing that your kid paid the price, but the School Board will look away when one of their own does it?
What are the consequences? The District clearly says that there are severe consequences to plagiarism. If your child apologizes and makes the appropriate corrections, that's good enough, according to the School Board President. How many colleges or employers operate like that? What consequences are in store for Mrs. Posti?
