The Evergreen Republican was sentenced Friday after being held in contempt in September by Magistrate Marianne Tims, who says Leonard tried to opt a child out of a standardized test and refused to allow one of his kids to use a tablet computer at school.

Leonard’s ex-wife has the sole authority to make educational decisions involving their children.

His attorney, Sharon Liko, says “he’s going to man up and deal with the sentence.” She adds it’s a common issue when one parent has sole decision-making power and the other does not.

Leonard was appointed to the state House after Jon Keyser stepped down to run for U.S. Senate. Leonard won election last month.
