“He didn’t show leadership and repeatedly demonstrated that he was unreliable and easily swayed by bad actors,” Facciani said. “So I decided to run for his job because I knew I could do better.”

Facciani declined to comment further on who the bad actors are and was brief about previous leadership failures.

Moretz is a heritage counselor with two children attending Hidden Valley High School, and his wife is a career educator. He was appointed to the school board in 2015 to fill a vacant position, then was elected in 2016 and recently ran unopposed for re-election in 2017.
