Resident accuses trustee of inappropriate social‑media comment; board offers to discuss after meeting

A local resident, Ray Castaneda, used the public‑comment period to accuse a board member of inappropriate behavior on social media and asked trustees to address the matter.

Castaneda said a board member posted a sexually suggestive comment on his Facebook page asking "where does she like to be grabbed," referring to a 24‑year‑old woman in the post; he said the remark would be unacceptable if directed at his own adult daughter and said the conduct violated the board’s code of ethics. He told the board he wanted trustees to "do the right thing and get together to discuss this matter." The board did not take action during the meeting; the president said trustees would speak with the commenter after the meeting.

Board response and process
The president invited Castaneda to speak privately with board officials after the public meeting and did not open a public investigation or take a formal vote. The board’s public comment rules were read aloud at the start of the forum; the president reminded commenters not to discuss individual personnel matters during public comment.

Why this matters
Allegations about a trustee’s conduct can raise governance and ethical questions for an elected board. Castaneda asked for a board discussion; however, during this meeting trustees did not initiate any formal ethics or disciplinary proceedings on the record.

Attributions
"I'm hoping that you guys would do the right thing and get together to discuss this matter." — Ray Castaneda (public commenter)

Ending
The board did not announce any formal investigation or next steps during the meeting. Trustees said they would speak with the resident afterward; any formal complaint or ethics inquiry would emerge only if board members or counsel initiate a process or a complaint is filed in line with district procedures.
