He prefaced his feedback by outlining some of the 280 complaints about or from trustees his office has received since 2015: using board resources for their re-election without any mechanism to stop them; failing to disclose conflicts of interest and voting on matters that affect them financially; being banned from their own school board meetings; and being verbally harassed as their board's code of conduct is weaponized against them.
