STACI HUPP / The Dallas Morning News

A Plano high school principal will keep his job despite allegations that he gave copies of a college entrance exam to a Dallas test-prep company where his brother works.

"I'm excited to be back," said Michael Novotny, 35, principal of Jasper High School.

School officials said they reinstated Mr. Novotny on Friday because he's not a target of a lawsuit that objects to the release of the test and didn't violate district or state rules.

Karen Dillard, who owns the company that bears her name, hasn't denied copying tests but she has denied wrongdoing.

Ms. Dillard has said she believed she was following a law that allows the use of copyrighted materials for teaching purposes.

Ms. Dillard has said the College Board, which also sells test-prep materials, seized on an honest mistake in a bid to ruin her company's reputation and gain a competitive edge.

In a counter lawsuit earlier this week, Karen Dillard College Prep accused the College Board of defamation, unfair competition and stealing her trade secrets, among other things.
