Child Care Supervisor pulls
papers for OUSD Trustee Seat
Orange resident Nicole Baitx-Kennedy, who works as a Child
Care Supervisor for Ocean
View School
District
Baitx-Kennedy formerly held a similar job at Orange
Unified. Her Facebook friends include Orange Unified Trustee Andrea Yamasaki.
The Trustee Area 6 seat is currently held by Trustee Mark
Wayland.
At the December 10, 2015 Board of Trustees meeting, Wayland
stunned the audience during the Agenda's last item, Other Comments, that he
would be resigning his Trustee position effective December 31st.
However, Wayland 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 ran for the Trustee position after his removal by
petition caused the Special Election.
Wayland accused Salas of falsely listing 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.
Wayland during other meetings has alluded to not running
for re-election. If Wayland does not
file for re-election by August 12th, the nominating period for the Trustee Area
6 seat will be extended for five business days.
