Marin school board official steps down after harassment restraining order, stays a candidate
Kevin Saavedra, a trustee for the Tamalpais Union High School District, resigned after a judge issued a three-year restraining order against him for harassing a parent. He indicated he might still take office if voters choose him in the November election, according to documents and a news report. His name remains on the ballot.
Kevin Saavedra resigned from the Tamalpais Union High School District board after a judge imposed a three-year restraining order against him. The order followed harassment of a parent, according to the available account.
Even so, Saavedra remains on the November ballot and indicated he might assume office if voters elect him. The documents and a news report provide these details; no further information about the case is available here.
The situation may affect trust in local school governance, as parents and students rely on board members to handle sensitive disputes fairly. If Saavedra is elected while under a restraining order, constituents could face uncertainty about his ability to serve and collaborate. The board may also need to manage vacancies or ethical questions. Voters in November could weigh the court order alongside his candidacy, shaping how the district addresses accountability and public confidence.
