The Atlanta school board has publicly censured member Courtney English because he failed to pay a $2,500 ethics fine on time.

The fine was handed down in October by an ethics panel affiliated with the school board. It came after English acknowledged he made $855.83 in personal charges to his Atlanta Public Schools-issued credit card. The panel additionally levied a public reprimand, and English also lost use of the card.

The fine was due Jan. 29. English paid it Monday.
