What was at stake?
Special election called following appointment
A special election for Moreno Valley Unified School District Trustee Area 5 was called for May 7, 2019. None of the other four seats on the board were scheduled to hold election in 2019. Those interested in the position had until February 8 to file for the office.[2]
The seat was originally vacated in August 2018 when Evan Morgan resigned his position following criminal charges that Morgan said he feared would distract from his work on the board.[3] The Board of Education appointed Darrell Peeden to the seat in October 2018, but the community had 30 days following Peeden’s appointment to gather 1 ½ percent of Trustee Area 5 voters’ signatures—or 231 signatures—for an election to be called. A total of 318 valid signatures were turned in and the appointment was overturned in December. Peeden stated he planned to file for the seat he held for roughly two months.[4]
This was the second such special election to be called in Moreno Valley USD this decade. In May 2013, the school district appointed Gary Baugh to a vacant at-large seat on the board. Following a similar petition drive, Baugh vacated the seat in June of that year and stood for election in November. He won the special election and served until 2018.[5]
