Ed board takes no action regarding superintendent

No action was taken Saturday by the El Dorado County board of education during a special meeting.

Jeremy Meyers

The meeting was called to discuss Superintendent Jeremy Meyers who on Nov. 5 was arrested on four misdemeanor charges related to driving under the influence. His blood alcohol level was 0.19, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Shortly before Meyers crashed his truck in Placerville he had been at the county office of education working.

This is the second DUI arrest in about a five-month period for the elected official. He pleaded no contest in the first case. That incident was also in the middle of a workday.

The board of education expects to discuss the situation further at a December closed session meeting. As elected official Meyers does not fall under traditional employee rules.
