The Imperial Valley Press reports that several members of the Calexico School District Board of Trustees have been named in a complaint accusing them of acting with conflicts of interest, engaging in retaliation, and violating the Brown Act. The accusations were made by district Superintendent Carlos Gonzales and members of the district’s executive cabinet.
The Holtville Tribune notes that “The bulk of the complaints are lodged against board President Ciro Calderon and board clerk Lorenzo Calderon Jr., though it appears that Trustee Enrique Alvarado and recently elected Trustee Margarita Magallanes were added to the updated list of concerns on May 24.” The only member of the trustee board not named in the complaint is Richard Romero.
