Stephanie Anello, Superintendent of Antioch Unified School District, has been terminated without cause by the school board in a unanimous 5-0 vote. This decision comes in the wake of a prolonged scandal involving allegations that Anello failed to address bullying by a mid-level manager within the district. The manager allegedly instructed staff to place another employee's desk on a roof, among other incidents. The termination marks the end of more than a year of controversy surrounding Anello's handling of the situation.
