FLORICE HOFFMAN PULLS PAPERS FOR OUSD TRUSTEE AREA 3

FLORICE HOFFMAN PULLS PAPERS FOR
OUSD TRUSTEE AREA 3
Community Activist Florice Hoffman pulled papers to run for the Orange Unified School Board Trustee Area 3. Hoffman’s entry into the OUSD November election is no surprise since she has been fundraising since announcing her intention to run against OUSD Trustee Steve Rocco over a year ago.
Orange Unified Trustee Area Three is shaping up to be the local election battleground. This week OUSD Trustee Area Three incumbent Wes Poutsma announced he would not seek re-election and OUSD Trustee Area One representative Melissa “Lissa” Smith pulled papers to enter the Trustee Area Three race. Smith’s house was moved from Trustee Area One to Area Three in the Nichols Realignment of the OUSD Trustee Areas. Smith was elected twice in Area 1 and her current term in Trustee Area One runs through 2010. Jerry Winant, a potential rival who also pulled papers for the Area Three seat, has criticized Smith’s move to run in Area Three without resigning in Area One as ethically challenged. Winant’s concerns include the potential cost to taxpayers to fill Smith’s seat in Area One if she wins in Area Three and baring an Special Election, the OUSD Board Majority could appoint an unelected representative for the Trustee Area.
