HAYWARD SCHOOL BOARD SCANDAL | Hayward school board President Jesus Armas resisted calls Wednesday night by some members of the community to resign after reports of an alleged affair with board member Maribel Heredia.
“There are a couple of people in the audience inviting me to resign,” said Armas. “Thank you for the invitation, but I will decline that invitation because I see no reason to take that course of action.”
Armas said the school district’s improvement over the past two years and the passage last June of Measure G with over 71 percent of the city’s vote shows the community’s support for the direction of the school district. He also brushed aside accusations by board members William McGee and Dr. Luis Reynoso of collusion among Armas and Heredia on unspecified votes in the past. “If we look at the voting record, we mostly vote all the same,” he said.
When pressed later by numerous public speakers whether the reports in The Citizen of an affair between Armas and Heredia, both in exclusive relationship, were true, he asserted anyone can post “anything on the Internet without substance.”
However, those in the audience Wednesday night were not buying it. Ann Terrazas, a former school district employee called the alleged dalliance between Armas and Heredia, “unbecoming behavior for a school board member.” Terrazas also called for Heredia resign. Neither Armas or Heredia are seeking re-election to the school board this November.
“You have Filet Mignon at home and you go out and get hamburger,” Hayward resident Jim Drake said, directed at Armas. “It’s not right. It’s not morally right.”

Parent of children in HUSD,
To the dumb lousset at 4:42, If Dr. Reynoso drops this topic of the corruption in the votes from the affair of Jesus Armas and Maribel Heredia then I will lose respect for the only man that has any integrity in politics in this area of HUSD. If you lousset want to drop this then you must be a corrupt cowardess yourself.
I do not think you are listening to Dr. Reynoso, that it is not the sex but the voting that is the issue with RAms, Heredia, and Bruner.
Let me tell you for as tough as that man is Dr. Reynoso, he even visited Kaiser to check on one of his students which is my child. So I will not allow you, a worthless stupid coward, to defame an intelligent brave caring teacher.
2 of my children were educated for 2 years at Harder Elementary by Dr. Reynoso and he was the BEST teacher they have ever had. I was the parent responsible to make sure he got the best teacher award at Harder when he was there. The principal Ms. Ford along with Ms. Deversy politically destroyed his program shame on them. My daughter is going to UC Berkeley BECAUSE of DR. Reynoso.
In his seminars at HArder he taught all of us parents how to make sure good teaching goes on in the classrooms. I even donated money to his curriculum because it was so cutting edge.
so 4:42 stop trashing a great teacher. Dr. Reynoso gets praises from all of us because he is brave and not a coward among all of our politicians in Hayward. I value his outspoken personality for justice.
Dr. Reynoso I will support you and my family stands behind you. You should run for mayor of Hayward soon because we need a very strong person in our city too.

And just what do you really know about Dr. Reynoso's teaching skills or his work history????I think that you rely upon rumor and speculation.
Dr. Reynoso has consistantly concentrated upon what needs to be done to provide services to all students in HUSD. He has questioned: expenditures;
the value of consultant contracts;
contracts that were given without benefit of a bidding process;
the real outcomes of the myriad of programs that have been introduced to our students;
the lack of real data to show that students have benefited from these programs;
the amount of money that is spent upon administrative salaries.
I have been watching the board of ed meetings since before his election and quite frankly, he is the only one that has raised significant issues regarding how well we use our money to educate all of our students.

I've had it with the constant praise for Luis Reynoso. He is a louse . . .
MR. Reynoso was an incompetent teacher, which led to his dismissal from HUSD; which in turn led to his goal of making HUSD suffer his retribution. He does not care about the students of HUSD, only in how he can take revenge on the District. If he cared so much and knew so much, he would still be teaching and not ranting and raving like a maniacal fool!
As always, he is practicing the historical magic trick of “waving the left hand” (the Armas/Heredia affair) to draw attention away from the “right hand” (his incompetency). Don’t get me wrong, I am most definitely NOT in support of Armas and/or Heredia . . . they too, disgust me!
MR. Reynoso needs to put this topic to bed (no pun intended), and focus on the real problems facing HUSD. Yes, it is tragic; yes, it is unethical; yes, so many things but relevant to the business of HUSD at this point. Let’s grow up folks, and let the real work begin. You remember what that is don’t you . . . educating children!!

When you watch the video it really appears as if Armas has spent the entire day drinking with his buddy Brunner. He truly behaved as if he was in an alcohol stuper.

They don't want people to know about this. Government code section 54950 states In enacting this chapter, the legislature finds and declares that the public commissions, boards, and councils, and the other public agencies in this state exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business. It is the intent of all law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly.
The people of this stete do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. the people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created. Also Board members can do their own investigations if they choose and go from there. Anyone can send a letter asking as a citizen and a tax payer of this state can they investigate this to the District Attorneys office, not the city D.A. The Alameda County.

It was the findings of a complaint filed regarding misappropreating funds from 3 grants. The district was found to be liable in 2 of the 3 complaints and has been ordered to pay back over 70 thousand dollars. They paid salaries for employees that didn't work in the programs that the grants covered along with other misappropriations.
Just imagine what else the administration of this district has done with money that nobody with unbiased knowledge is monitoring.
Dont bother sending this to the Grand Jury, because they don't seem to be interested. Much has been sent and all of it has been ignored. Maybe we should have an investigation of the Grand Jury.

Well guess what? GCR advised districts in Calexico to do the same thing and now they are in VERY DEEP DOO DOO! It is not only a questionable practice from a legal standpoint it is also un ethical. The paperwork/record keeping for the bond down south is just as confusing as it is in HUSD. I think that HUSD is facing charges.
GCR is also in trouble for making campaign contributions to candidates running for election in districts and municipalities they represent as legal counsel. HOW MUCH DID THEY CONTRIBUTE TO JESUS ARMAS? How much will they try to give the new slate of candidates??
They are also practicing “gift giving” a form of bribery just read the posting above about tennis dates. They took 3 of the 5 board members out for an expensive dinner while attending the National School Boards convention this year.

It is the responsibility and privilege of Hayward Unified School District (HUSD) Board of Trustees to promote the education of Hayward's children to the highest standard possible. We are demanding Maribel Heredia resign immediately due to her dereliction of duty and unbecoming behavior for an elected official.
Maribel Heredia has failed to fulfill her duties in a manner that is transparent, forthright, and shows goodwill to students, parents, teachers, classified staff and administrators.
Ms. Heredia has an ongoing problem with her commitment to attend meetings; she is frequently tardy and leaves early.
According to a story published in ebcitizen.com on July 26, 2012, Ms. Heredia admitted under oath that she does not read board materials, but depends on the judgment of another, unnamed HUSD currently elected board member to make decisions on how to vote. This is collusion and creates a myriad of possible conflicts of interest.
Ms. Heredia, is a subject of an ebcitizen.com article, published July 25, 2012, that exposed a scandalous illicit affair with fellow HUSD board member, Jesus Armas. Both have families. This behavior demonstrates poor ethical judgment.
We believe that Ms. Heredia was obligated to disclose her new relationship (that may have started over a year ago) with fellow board member, Jesus Armas to the community at large. Since that time, Ms. Heredia has voted on hundreds of agenda items that greatly affect and influence the quality of education in our community and working conditions of HUSD employees.

Get rid of the GCR law firm and sue them for corruption. I looked them up too on Sweetwater Union Highschool district and it is very crooked what has been happening with GCR involved. Even in Calexico school district.
Look —
http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2012/jan/16/stringers-calexico-unified-school-districts-/
One of many stories of GCR corruption-
“To begin with, Calexico’s district counsel is GCR, LLP, the attorney firm that recently was suspended by Sweetwater’s interim superintendent Ed Brand. The firm used to include Bonifacio Garcia, Yuri Calderon, and Rogelio Ruiz. However, Ruiz is now suing his former partners for, among other things, “making thousands of dollars in political contributions to favored political candidates in an effort to influence government officials…,” according to court papers filed in Santa Clara County in April of 2011.”
Mary Hernandez is the lawyer from GCR that shows up in some of the minutes of the board. I remember her when she told the board that they are board members 365/24/7. If that is the case then when Jesus Armas and Maribel Heredia are having their sexual escapades they are still on the board. So how can they not have a collusion of votes like Reynoso and McGee have been warning us about?

That is exactly the question that Dr. Reynoso asked over and over again. His question(s) were met with ridicule, he was criticized by the staff and other board members. It was at that time, during the reign of Paul Frumkin that the board and the GCR legal firm began their constant attempts to find ways to silence Dr. Reynoso.
Too bad the community didn't get involved at that time, perhaps we would not be facing the shame and complete meltdown of HUSD now. Keep the pressure on in every way possible. I am afraid that we have only scraped the tip of the iceberg when it comes to questionable practices by the past and current board.

What's legally possible versus what is ethically correct are two different things and clearly (as shown by the current GOP candidate's tactics), legally possible is the new bar that needs clearing by our elected officials. Again, simply by seeing the behavior of the adults supposedly responsible for their welfare, is it no wonder each generation loses more and more of its ethical character?
For HUSD, the argument shouldn't be around what is technically legal but what is actually right for the students. How does having Armas appointed a board member and his family all working then working for the District do anything that actually helps the students of Hayward?
LikeLike
For 12:16 am:
They didn't actually appoint Armas,they just told the board how to circumvent the law to appoint him. They essentially told the board that if any grievance was filed about the appointment, the time it would take to process it would take so long that the issue of his wife's promotion would be moot.
It is correct that they also advised the board that the employment of his chidren while, ethicly questionable, was technically legal. GCR swims with the bottom feeders of the legal profession.

Eliminate Peter Bufette for being an Armas stooge and John Taylor for supporting defiant staff who are obstructing Reynoso and McGee's attempt to investigate Armas/Heredia and to censure Jesus with a vote of no confidence. The others are dead silent. Do any of them really deserve your vote anyway?

If Reynoso was not using that flamboyant presentation style he is using now, and only acted like school boards are taught to conduct themselves at board meetings then I seriously doubt we as a community would have found anything going on at any time.
Since he has been there I have grown to support him and understand now what he has to do to bring things out. You forget the time police were called to silence him when he wanted to report the hiring of Jesus Armas' wife as director in HR and the hiring of his kids at HUSD. That was when I really became Reynosos supporter. I wish we had more politicians like him with titanium balls to rid corruption in city, county , state, and federal level of government. I admit Reynoso is unique and I will vote for him this time.
So why not sit back and follow the protocol at board meeting in HUSD. The system is designed to silence the whistle blower through protocol and Jesus Armas, Maribel Heredia, Lisa Bruner, corrupt land developers and contractors control that process.
Even though you support Reynoso you remind of the many cowards we have in Hayward that do nothing and later come out to tell us how it should have been handled.

Dr. Reynoso and Mr. McGee please continue to be polarizing towards getting rid of corruption. Any more polarizing candidates coming up that want to get rid of evil will get my vote.
To embrace evil is not good but to identify good and bad people is what polarizing requires. We need to get rid of nasty people like Jesus Armas, Maribel Heredia, and Lisa Brunner.

Posters on this site are simply reacting to the shame that has been spread over the HUSD community. Sometimes it is necessary to give people who embarrass their community “names”. It is a way of showing just how angry and disappointed they are with those who are elected to represent us; officials who are supposed to model the behavior we want for our children and instead care only about their own personal needs and wants. That kind of behavior from Armas and Heredia is what has kindled the commentary on this site.

This is for Ms. Brunner, who says she reads all the postings but never responds herself.
At last night's board meeting your conduct was shameful and disgusting. Your attempts to intimidate speakers, by interrupting them as they spoke and asking questions designed to challenge their right to speak or offer opinions or facts, went far beyond ethical or professional conduct expected of a Trustee. Challenging the veracity of your fellow board members was demeaning.
I seem to remember that you have spoken on how important it is for bullying to be stopped in our schools, yet you model for our students bullying behavior; shame on you.
You criticized people who post on the ebcitizen for using the anonymous profile…Believe me they do not want to incur the bullying tactics you or your supporters will use against them. If people could address the board and remain anonymous and unseen you would be inundated by commentary. Unfortunately, people have seen how you and your cronies Armas and Heredia choose to belittle them. Of course you do this after the speaker has had the opportunity to address you; taking the cowardly route of responding to them under your board commentary. Really fair aren't you?
Your continued attempts to “whitewash” the antics of Heredia and Armas that have brought scandal to HUSD only show how truly uncaring you are. While you do not have to publicly chastize your cronies, it would behoove you to at least encourage them privately to resign. To read a statement about relationships between two board members being perfectly ok and happens all the time was misleading, just like you wanted it to be. What you left out was the fact that the electorate knew when they voted for people that there was a relationship!in the case of HUSD, Armas and Heredia kept it a secret! Secrets always have a way of injuring people. This time the secret injured an entire school district and two families. But I guess since it was your dear friends it was ok.
There is still time for you to look in the mirror and re-examine your behavior and your priorities. I suggest that you do that LISA. Recognize how far you have strayed from the candidate that wanted everyone to know that they cared about children and education in HUSD. Accept that you have been on your own little power trip and that it is time to end it. Do the right thing LISA, if you still remember what right is.

And just what is his problem? The fact that he will not be silenced by the President of the Board? The fact that he asks probing questions of staff? The fact that he knows more than, Armas, Heredia and Brunner about budgets, contracts and ethical conduct?
Far better we should continue to elect people who become mesmerized by the Administration and staff because they are ignorant regarding educational issues. Far better we should continue to elect people who get drunk with power. Guess people like you don't care if students progress, succeed and graduate.

Let's face it folks, this is all about the power structure in Hayward – who has it and who doesn't. I remember years ago when it was about the “good old boys” – George Oaks etc. Those who have power in Hayward have always ruled and those who do not have always been excluded. Often they can be identified by where they live, in the hills or the flatlands. Those in power have always been the ones who could – who had the money and connections and know how to do it. They also did a lot of good.
But not all of what they did and are still doing is good. In today's world, it seems “all the chickens are coming home to roost.” The shadow side of those in power is showing up not just here in Hayward, but throughout the country. Those who have power are often being exposed as corrupt, greedy and cheaters like Armas. This is what transparency is doing for us.
On the other hand, those who are exposing those faults, whistleblowers like Reynoso are not thought of as heroes either. Theirs is a difficult path through the matrix of group think and ignorance that we force them to go through. We like avoiding the truth. We don’t really want to hear what they are saying because if we did, we might have to take a look at ourselves and how we are abdicating our personal responsibility for the way things are.
We should stop thinking that those in power are all evil nor are the whistleblowers just trouble makers. And no matter how good it makes you feel emotionally to get back at the other side that has caused you so many wounds and doesn’t appreciate the good that you have done, that only keeps perpetuates the problem. We have to stop playing “Ain’t it awful” games.
Now more than ever before, we need to see know and speak the truth and not revert to emotional reactivity.
We need real truth tellers in our media, investigative reporters with integrity who seek out the truth instead of getting off on stirring the pot. We need to know for instance, what is the real connection is between Armas and the developers. Does he in fact have a conflict of interest? Has he committed illegal acts? Does Tavares have that in him?
A good reporter might take on the whole issue of the relationship between Hayward and its developers. Why is it so much easier for a developer to get something done than for residents to be informed and included in planning?
And what worries me more is that we are disempowering parents in their rightful role as guardians of the children. I rarely see anything about parent power anymore and when they do get organized, HUSD seems to find a way to destroy them. And then those in power complain that parents are leaving Hayward.
Sitting back and complaining and blaming is a lot easier than coming together to create the future we want. But this new earth is being born and we had better learn to cooperate and evolve or we are not going to survive.

If Reynoso is a problem to you &:26 then I welcome more problems like him to get rid of all the corruption in HUSD. I think Reynoso and McGee are a good team.

But that does not give Reynoso a nod for reelection. He is also a problem.

Obviously the two posting to vote no for reynoso believe that calling for his colleagues to behave in a manner that befits their positions is not necessary. They must believe that bringing scandal to the district is ok. They must think that students need to be made fun of by their peers in other school districts. It's pretty hard to encourage students to practice abstinance when their supposedly trusted role models, Armas and Heredia couldn't do it. They must believe that “sexting” is an ok practice and encourage students to follow their lead.
It is sickening to think that there are adults in this community that condone bringing scandal and shame to its children/students attending our schools. It is disgusting that these commentors seem to want to “kill” the wrong person, Reynoso didn't break the story' he didn't have the personal text messages or the sworn deposition. Someone else who was fed up with their behavior did and gave it to ebcitizen. I say good for that person(s).

First time poster,
Jesus Armas was a complete ass in the meeting. I was worried the meeting was not going to be broadcast. I have been watching board meetings for a while and his behavior was unbelievable.
Not properly addressing people by the proper title is very unprofessional. Jesus Armas is very unprofessional. My son recently got his doctorate and everyone at work calls him doctor.
When he was the city manager he was never challenged. Now being questioned by Dr. Reynoso with someone with more education and quickness makes Jesus completely freak out.
Good job Armas you made a complete ass of your self and I hope many people will soon ride you.
