An Ottawa area school board trustee has been sanctioned and barred from committee meetings for three months after the board found she violated the code of conduct.

Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) voted against trustee Nili Kaplan-Myrth on Dec. 19 in response to a complaint made in September, which resulted in an investigation and report by the integrity commissioner.
