Only days after a federal judge threw out a lawsuit filed by governing board President Heather Rooks against the Peoria Unified School District, she and her legal representation said they will appeal the ruling and Rooks will continue to recite Biblical scripture at meetings.
The district in an emailed statement said officials appreciated a resolution to the case but did not comment on the prospect of an appeal.
“We appreciate the judge’s swift resolution of this matter, which allows us to move forward and remain focused on providing a high-quality education for all students,” the statement read.
