A school district found a state representative who is also the school district’s governing board president had an “inappropriate” physical relationship with the district’s superintendent.
During a special Tolleson Union High School District board meeting Monday evening, the board announced the results of an investigation into the board’s president Elda Luna-Nájera. The Democrat was appointed to the state House of Representatives in February to represent Legislative District 22 after former Rep. Leezah Sun resigned from the House for threatening Tolleson city officials.
Tolleson Union High School District Superintendent Jeremy Calles accused Luna-Nájera in August of sexual harassment toward him and creating a hostile work environment by attempting to have him removed from his position for rejecting her advances.
