Darbi Boddy

Christina French replaces former board member Boddy, who was removed by her fellow board members last month.

After a raucous two years on the Lakota Local School Board, filled with politically charged feuds and legal battles, Darbi Boddy has been voted out by her fellow members.

Boddy proposed the motion but wasn't present Monday night to discuss it, adding to the growing list of meetings she's missed recently due to a protection order filed by a fellow board member.

In a statement, Boddy's attorney Robert Croskery wrote they plan to fight the citation in court.

The attorney representing Lakota School Board member Darbi Boddy is seeking to have the civil protection order against her by fellow board member Isaac Adi thrown out after an incident in Columbus over the weekend.

Late last week, a Butler County judge ruled Darbi Boddy could attend Monday's meeting as long as she only spoke to Isaac Adi when absolutely necessary.

Banned Lakota School Board member Darbi Boddy will be allowed to attend the board meeting on Monday as long as she steers clear of Isaac Adi, who has a civil protection order against her.

The ruling means Boddy will not be permitted to be within 500 feet of fellow Board Member Isaac Adi, and violating the protection order would result in her arrest.

Member Darby Boddy used antisemitic language and claimed the district promoted segregation by preferring to hire candidates based on their race.

Board President Lynda O'Connor said the new council would include 30 community members with diverse backgrounds and intends to have more productive conversations around topics like race, religion, and sexual identity in Lakota schools than the smaller diversity committee comprised of board and staff members.
