A proposal to censure a trustee on the Fairfax School District board failed at Tuesday s night s meeting in a split 2-2 vote. The censure proposal, commissioned by an independent attorney, claimed trustee Palmer Moland abused his power and harassed and bullied staff â from classified workers all the way up to the superintendent â throughout the district.
The censure resolution recommended that Moland resign or hire a leadership development coach. The resolution, if it had passed, would have removed Moland from any committee or leadership position on the board and barred him from representing the district in any official capacity until he completed district-approved training in governance, school laws and regulations.
