The Orange County District Attorney’s office determined the Orange Unified Board of Education did not violate California’s open meeting laws when it voted to fire its superintendent in January—though one trustee was found in violation of the rules for disclosing closed session information to the media.
The DA launched a two-month investigation into multiple complaints—filed by parents and community members—that the board violated the Brown Act when the majority voted to fire the district’s superintendent on Jan. 5 in a special meeting called one day in advance.
