| Description | Jarrett Maupin II announced he will resign from his post on the Phoenix Union High School Governing Board two days after a judge set a date for him to plead guilty to a federal felony. The young community activist and former Phoenix mayoral candidate was indicted in February for making a false report to a federal law enforcement officer.
Whether the decisions to resign and pending guilty plea are related, we can't tell you. But if they aren't, the timing sure is coincidental. His Phoenix attorney declined comment on the federal criminal case, and Maupin hasn't returned a message left this afternoon by New Times.
The high school district put out a news release today announcing Maupin had submitted a resignation letter on April 17.
"Maupin, 21, plans to pursue a career opportunity which requires him to be away from Phoenix, according to the letter," says the news release. The South Phoenix representative was elected to the seven-member governing board in November of 2006 and was slated to serve till next year. |
