The Scandal Unfolding at Tolleson Union High School District

The Scandal Unfolding at Tolleson Union High School DistrictStay Informed with 12News

In a shocking turn of events, the Tolleson Union High School District in Arizona has seen its governing board president, Dr. Elda Luna-Najera, ousted from her position amidst allegations of sexual harassment. The controversy came to light when Superintendent Jeremy Calles filed a complaint in August, accusing Luna-Najera of making unwanted sexual advances towards him.

Following an investigation, board members made the decision to remove Luna-Najera and appointed Dr. Kino Flores as the new board president. Calles, who spoke for the first time since the investigation began, expressed gratitude to his wife for standing by him during this challenging time and emphasized the need for the district to heal and move forward.

During a public comment session at the board meeting, members of the Tolleson Union Education Association called for Luna-Najera’s resignation, echoing Calles’ sentiments. Despite the allegations, Luna-Najera maintained her position and disputed the investigation’s findings, claiming that the relationship between her and Calles was consensual.

The investigation report, which has not been released to the public, reportedly highlighted the problematic power dynamics at play due to Luna-Najera’s position as governing board president. Calles disputed the report’s claims and hinted at potential legal action in response to the allegations.

As the scandal continues to unfold, the community is left grappling with the aftermath of this controversy. While Luna-Najera still holds a seat on the board, questions linger about the accountability and transparency of the district’s leadership.
