School board: We're satisfied superintendent accused of plagiarism 'understands her mistake' | NJ.com
"Koos told Bernardsville-Bedminster Patch that the seeming plagiarism of the Bettendorf message was actually a misunderstanding, and that she should have attributed Shutte's messages to him.
Koos called the incident "a mistake," and said she had an email from Shutte giving her permission to use the comments in her own letter, according to Patch.
However, Shutte told NJ.com he first heard from Koos sometime on Jan. 4, two days after the letter was already published on Bedminster's website with Koos' name signed to it.
On Jan. 11, Casella said the school board would investigate the possible plagiarism and, "as soon as we're able to get through everthing and get to the bottom of it, we will take appropriate steps from there."
But earlier that morning, the school district's website had been changed to edit another letter from the superintendent that appeared to be plagiarized from another school district."
