Community members voice concern at fiery Tolleson Union meeting
Some community members are calling for the resignation of the entire Tolleson Union High School Governing Board. The frustration comes after a lease-back agreement with another Valley school district and a sexual harassment claim involving the now-former Board President.
Tuesday’s meeting was fiery, with governing board members at times raising their voices. This was met by people in the audience doing the same.
“We need a turnover of the entire board,” said long-time community member Olga Aros.
Aros and others were part of a group that came to the meeting holding signs calling for resignations.
Some brought up communication with the community and the wording on the agenda about a budget proposal. Some believed the vote was for the final adoption.
Suzie Moreno called the board “dysfunctional” and brought up their spending on land and a lease-back agreement with the struggling Issac School District.

Armed road rage incident caught on Tesla camera
A 47-year-old man faces aggravated assault charges after allegedly pulling a gun on another driver during a road rage incident near Scottsdale Road and Loop 101. Per court paperwork, the April 27 confrontation was captured by the victim's Tesla camera.
The Tesla driver, who ABC15 is not identifying, said his 3-year-old child was in the car during the frightening encounter.
"I really didn't know what I did to initially set him off, I really didn't," the Tesla driver said.
Video footage shows the truck speeding ahead to confront the Tesla at a stoplight, where the two drivers exchanged words before the situation escalated dramatically.
"He pulls a gun, says something about how he hates f-word Tesla owners,” the Tesla driver said. “He racks the gun, so pulls it back and points it at me.”
Scottsdale detectives didn't arrest the truck driver until this month, according to court paperwork.
