The board members can be heard disparaging parents, saying they want schools open so they have babysitters and can smoke weed.

Masadas then suggested perhaps parents want their kids in school for another reason.

“My brother had a delivery service for medical marijuana. The high clientele were the parents with their kids at school. When you have your kids at home, no more ,” Masadas said, as other members laughed in the background. The remarks were immediately met with calls for the board’s resignation — including from Oakley’s mayor., a petition calling for the board to resign gained thousands of signatures in just a few days.

“We deeply regret the earlier comments that were made in the meeting of the Board of Education earlier this week,” a joint statement by now ex-board members Kim Beede, Erica Ippolito, and Richie Masadas said. “As trustees, we realize it is our responsibility to model the conduct that we expect of our students and staff, and it is our obligation to build confidence in district leadership; our comments failed you in both regards, and for this we offer our sincerest apology.
