Barbour has been a member of the Valley Center school board since 2009. He began serving his third term on the board in 2017. He was vice president of the board from 2012 to 2014 and president from 2014 to 2016 and 2018 to the present.



"I'm not looking for forgiveness," he said. "This is all alleged. I'm not convicted of anything. I've been arrested. It's a fact. We know that. Just because someone's been arrested doesn't mean they're guilty of what they're arrested for yet. I have to talk to my family about it and see how we want to handle it."



Barbour said he doesn't know how he will proceed with the case in court.



"I haven't consulted with my attorney," he said. "I haven't been convicted yet. … That's a fact. I haven't. I haven't pleaded anything. Nothing. … It just happened. … I just want to weigh my options and stuff. I'm not going to commit to anything.



"I don't want anything that happens to me to reflect badly on the schools," he added. "So that's why I'm kind of weighing my options as to whether I'm going to stay on the school board or not."



Barbour's first appearance in Sedgwick County District Court will be on February 11th.
