The Atlanta school board's ethics commission dismissed a parent's complaint against the board's vice-chairwoman, Eshé Collins.

The independent panel investigated a complaint that alleged Collins called Dawn Brockington-Shaw "a liar" during a community meeting in June. The complaint alleged Collins violated conflict of interest and conduct as a board member policies as well as the code of ethics oath during a dispute that grew heated.

The ethics panel met Tuesday after reviewing the matter and "unanimously determined that no good and sufficient cause existed for a determination that a violation may have occurred."

Collins previously described the allegations as “completely baseless” and said she was confident that the commission would resolve the matter in her favor.
