OAKLEY, Calif. - The president and the majority of Oakley Union Elementary School Board of Trustees have resigned where they made disparaging remarks about parents on a Zoom call without realizing that their mics were hot and that they were being recorded.
Late Friday, KTVU learned three other board members, essentially the entire board, had submitted their resignations effective immediately. Board president Lisa Brizendine had submitted her resignation on Thursday.
In a written statement, Brizendine apologized for rude comments caught on video, which parents blasted out on social media, catching national attention and heat.
