A veteran Prince George's County school board member who moved from Laurel to New Carrollton, has been accused of violating a Maryland state law that prohibits her and other board officials from living outside their districts.

Rosalind A. Johnson, 68, who represents District 1, admitted relocating in June to care for her dying mother, although she knew that state law requires board members to live in the districts they represent.

Johnson was elected in 2006 and plans on retiring soon from the board. She said she failed to step down because she was still needed on the board, and there was no guarantee anyone would be chosen to replace her.
