Trustee Mark Wayland full of surprises
and OUSD Board elects new officers
At the beginning of their
December 10, 2015 meeting, the Orange Unified School Board elected three new
Board officers. Trustee Rick Ledesma
will return as the Board President, Trustee Dr . Alexia Deligianni
-Brydges will serve in her first OUSD leadership capacity as OUSD Vice
President and Kathy Moffat will return to the Board leadership as Clerk after
years of being denied any leadership position by the OUSD Board Majority. In the past, Moffat has served in all three
leadership positions.
This is the first time in years
that two women have served on the Board Leadership.
After the 2001 Orange Recall one
of the Recall Reforms championed by newly elected Citizen's Board was rotation
of the leadership positions. The rotation of leadership positions was initiated
by OUSD Board President Robert Viviano- one of two sitting trustees who
supported the goals of 2001 Recall against their recalled board colleagues who
were part of the then Jacobson Fringe Majority.
Vivano was long unfairly denied a leadership position by that Jacobson
Fringe Majority.
The policy to rotate officers was
rescinded after the controversial Steve
Rocco was elected to the OUSD Board.
At the same Board meeting on
December 10th, Trustee Mark Wayland's last comment of the last agenda
item stunned the audience as Wayland announced that for personal health reasons
he would be resigning his Trustee position effective December 31, 2015.
Wayland however did not resign.
The often surprising Wayland did however have an even bigger December surprise
for Greater Orange. He filed a lawsuit against OUSD Area 1 Candidate Trustee
Greg Salas for filing false statements on his Ballot Candidate Statement.
Salas had falsely listed Wayland as endorsing Salas, and
more importantly according to Wayland, Salas filed false and misleading
statements for his ballot statement to imply that Salas was an incumbent (i.e.
elected) OUSD Board member.
On January 6th, Wayland won in court when Greg Salas
was ordered by Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard Lissebrink to remove
the false statements from his Candidate Statement. (For more
