<p>A Hanover Area School Board member resigned her position on the board as part of an agreement with the state Ethics Commission.</p><p>According to Attorney Al Flora Jr., Evelyn Evans, 68, resigned from her board post as part of a settlement without any admission of wrongdoing or finding of a conflict.</p><p>The commission was investigating a possible attempt to influence board members considering reinstating her son, Edward Evans, and an attempt to discredit school officials who were reviewing his employment status.</p><p>District Superintendent Andrew Kuhl said Evelyn Evans resigned at the Feb. 3 school board meeting without warning.</p><p>&#8220;Her resignation was very brief, two lines,&#8221; Kuhl explained.</p><p>Edward Evans was a Hanover Area teacher when he was arrested in January 2014 and charged with having sex with a student. A jury acquitted him, and the district hired a special attorney to determine if he should be reinstated.</p><p>Instead, he resigned in January 2015 in exchange for $95,000. Times Leader records indicate Edward then dropped grievances he had filed against the district.</p><p>The agreement also says that Evelyn Evans is not to hold public office.</p><p>She was 24-year-member of the school board.</p><style>
