Antioch Unified School District Board President Antonio Hernandez questions the transparency and independence of Superintendent Stephanie Anello’s call for an investigation into allegations of employee bullying. Anello’s close ties with the accused, Ken Turnage, raise concerns about the investigation’s impartiality. Hernandez calls for Anello’s resignation after three trustees decline a special meeting to discuss disciplinary action. Trustees Hernandez and Jaguanana Lathan emphasize the need for an investigation by the Board of Education, citing concerns about the impartiality of Anello’s proposed investigation. They allege that three trustees have hindered efforts to hold Anello accountable. Anello’s email lacks transparency regarding the investigation’s timeline and the party conducting it, prompting further concerns about accountability within the school district.
