Some Riverside County parents will have to wait a little longer to find out who might represent them on the Temecula Valley Unified School District board.
Though the application deadline was Friday, the district won’t release the names and number of people who applied for the seat vacated by the resignation of Danny Gonzalez, as reported by The Press-Enterprise.
“Depending on when the names are shared, the public might not have much time to learn about the applicants before Tuesday, Feb. 13, when the remaining board members will interview the applicants in public and try to appoint someone that night to fill the vacancy,” the report added.
At stake is the political future of the board, on which a conservative majority has made headlines with decisions on hot-button issues like the display of the LGBTQ+ Pride flag and the inclusion of gay rights leader Harvey Milk in the state’s social studies textbook.
Another conservative board member, President Joseph Komrosky, could also be off the board soon, as he’s facing a recall election.
