Description
The superintendent of the North Kitsap School District avoided facing charges in her election sign tampering case by agreeing to pre-trial diversion with the court.
Dr. Laurynn Evans was allegedly caught on surveillance footage and observed by witnesses stealing signs that urged voters to oppose a school district bond worth millions of dollars. The bond, which failed during a February special election, would have paid for improvements and renovations to many of the schools in the district. Evans told police it was not her that was caught on camera and alleged that she had been set up. After the allegations came to light, the school board placed her on paid administrative leave.
Evans faced one charge of defacing or removing a political sign. She entered a not-guilty plea in court on Wednesday.
