The chief Douglas County prosecutor says he intends to challenge the seating of some Omaha school board members.
County Attorney Don Kleine told 1110 KFAB on Monday that the board failed to swear in the new members in time.
State law says the board must swear in newly elected board members ``before the first Monday in January.'' But the four new and two returning board members took the oath on the first Monday, Jan. 7.
A district spokesman has said the board had consulted with its attorneys and concluded that the members were properly sworn in. The board cited another state law that says board members will be elected for ``four years from and including the first Monday of the January following their election.''
