Antioch school superintendent calls for outside investigation into district’s handling of boss bullying case

Antioch Unified School District Superintendent Stephanie Anello this week called for an “independent investigation” of the district’s handling of employees’ complaints that their boss was bullying and harassing them and that the district had turned a blind eye.

At the same time, the AUSD Board President Antonio Hernandez has called for a special closed-session meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday to discuss Anello’s handling of the matter and her performance, which hasn’t been evaluated for several years.
