The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors is considering taking control over the countywide school district's Board of Education following the dismissal of its superintendent.
The firing of Mary Ann Dewan on Oct. 2 led to controversy, with her claiming that the elected board violated open meeting laws during her termination process.
Supervisor Susan Ellenberg abstained from the vote as her husband represents the former superintendent, raising questions about conflicts of interest in the decision-making process.
The discussion about the governance of the office includes the possibility of changing the county superintendent position from appointed to elected, which would ultimately require voter approval.
