Beckie Gomez resigns from OC Board of Education |
|
Facing a lawsuit challenging her concurrent elected positions, Trustee Rebecca “Beckie” Gomez said she will resign from the Orange County Board of Education effective July 1.
Gomez announced her resignation during the OCBE meeting Wednesday evening.
“Although this lawsuit seeking to remove me from office was directed to me personally and does not impact public dollars, this litigation does affect the focus of the Board of Education,” Gomez said in a statement provided to the Register. “I do not want this latest lawsuit to be a further distraction from the mission of the board to educate our students.”

OC Board of Education Member Beckie Gomez Resigns Amid Lawsuit |
|
Beckie Gomez, the Orange County Board of Education member representing families in Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, and parts of Garden Grove and Tustin, resigned Wednesday night. Her resignation comes after a lawsuit was filed against her for serving simultaneously on the county board as well as the Tustin City. Rather than fight the issue in court, Gomez closed Wednesday night’s board meeting by announcing her resignation. “After being recruited to run in 2016, I received more than one legal opinion which did not indicate an incompatibility,” Gomez said. “With deep regret, I will be resigning as the board of education trustee for Area 1 effective July 1st 2022.” |
