At today’s meeting of the school district Board of Trustees, it was revealed that Trustee Celeste Winders, Area 2 Trustee, has submitted her resignation from the Board. Winders submitted a letter to the County announcing her departure. A vacancy on the board has now been created. Winders resignation appears to be related to a recent social media post in which she derided members of the public in the strongest of terms. Her remarks generated considerable public comment and demands that she she be disciplined. Facing such public pressure, Winders resigned.
The School District has been beset with problems to solve, including budget deficits, school closures, and teacher’s union negotiations. Until the empty seat is filled, the board will face the potential of tie votes on critical issues, further exacerbating their difficulties.
Upon the vacancy, the will now board undertake the process of soliciting the public for a replacement, and within 60 days will appoint one.
