State 48 News: Exclusive Story

In an exclusive statement to State 48 News, Liberty Elementary School District (LESD25), Board President Bryan Parks says, “Bottom line, progressives did not like the outcome of the election and used every tactic in the playbook to overturn the voters….”

In a heartfelt resignation notice underscoring his commitment to the students of LESD25, Board President Bryan Parks has announced his resignation, effective immediately. Parks emphasizes his primary mission has always been to serve the best interests of the children. He stated, “If at any time I am getting in the way of that mission, I need to step back and reevaluate if I can continue to be effective in my role as governing board member.”

Parks’ resignation is expected to send shock waves through the Liberty community. In recent weeks, he has been at the center of significant controversy, with parents, teachers, and community members calling for his resignation and initiating a recall petition. Parks told State 48 News his priority needed to shift to his family and business, and they had decided it was enough. His resignation letter cites “relentless attacks and threats against himself, his family, and his business.”

This resignation presents a significant opportunity for newly elected Maricopa County School Superintendent Shelli Boggs. Known for her dedication to parental rights and keeping politics out of schools, Boggs will play a pivotal role in appointing a successor to lead the LESD board. Her leadership in this high-profile district will be closely watched as she navigates this critical appointment.
