Chiu expressed her willingness to apologize to those affected and accepted potential committee reassignment, asserting she felt silenced by the resolution's backlash. The board voted 4-1 to reassign Chiu, leading to concerns about maintaining a supportive environment for district employees due to the ongoing tensions.
'I have felt silenced,' Chiu said, addressing the board's backlash against her social media activity. She expressed willingness to meet with those affected and apologize.
