DOVER, Pa. (AP) -- The Dover Area School Board unanimously agreed
Tuesday to pay $1 million in legal fees to the plaintiffs who
successfully sued to end the policy of presenting ''intelligent design''
as an alternative to evolution.

The eight board members agreed to pay three legal organizations that
represented the plaintiffs in the case.

The organizations also said they agreed to reduce their attorneys' fees
and expenses by more than $1 million because members who supported the
intelligent design policy had been voted off the board.

In December, a federal judge ruled the previous board's decision to
insert intelligent design into the science curriculum violated the
constitutional separation of church and state.

The theory attributes the existence of complex organisms to an
unidentified intelligent cause.

During the six-week trial, the school board said it was trying improve
science education by exposing students to alternatives to Charles
Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection.
