California school board members resigned en masse after being caught making fun of parents during a public video meeting about the reopening of schools closed during the pandemic.
The four members, including President Lisa Brizendine of the Oakley Elementary School District Council, resigned Friday, according to a Fox News report.
Board members were caught in a video complaining about parents wanting teachers to return to their classrooms. Brizendine appeared to mock parents who “want their nannies back” during Wednesday’s meeting, which administrators believed was private.
“The comments made were not in line with our vision and are definitely not what any of us represent as leaders. I know we have lost trust with the community. I will not apologize for what happened or why it happened, “school superintendent Greg Hetrick said in a statement.
Brisendine later apologized. The other board members – Kim Beede, Erica Ippolito and Richie Masadas – resigned on Friday.
