Contreras Smith & Pell Contracts Terminated Former Superintendent Susanna Contreras Smith and Former Chief Financial and Operations Officer Cleve Pell were fired by the BOE at the meeting November 3. The vote was 4:1 during closed session. Board member Hector Chacon was the one dissenting vote. Accord-ing to an article in the Whittier Daily News, MUSD said in a state-ment that the board fired Contreras Smith and Pell over “a difference of opinion” on how to best run the district.
