Nativo V. Lopez has been reelected president of the Santa Ana Unified School District board.
The vote was 3 to 2, with trustees Robert W. Balen and Audrey Yamagata-Noji dissenting without comment.
Lopez, executive director of the Latino rights group Hermandad Mexicana Nacional office in Santa Ana, had been under investigation by the Orange County district attorney’s office, which was examining allegations of voter fraud. But sources have indicated that the grand jury chose not to indict Lopez or any Hermandad employees.
The school board president serves for a year and conducts meetings.
Lopez did not make any remarks at the meeting regarding his reelection.
