The Superintendent is corrupt and has to go ‼️

The superintendent needs to be fired, she knows exactly what is going on.

That superintendent is about as pathetic as they get. The smug look on her face of I don’t care speaks volumes!

Workplace bullying is ridiculous! I can honestly say that anxiety attacks can make a person feel like they are dying. I’m glad that they put this guy’s picture on the news.

How weak did that superintendent make herself look? Wow…

Taxpayers are paying a childish bully to ruin employees lives who just want to work and retire.

Great job to the reporter! These are the stories we need. We need this same reporting accountability to big corporations and politicians

Turnage and the Superintendent needs to go.

He is a jerk . He needs to be fired . The employees should sue

This is blatant harassment. He is a sociopath.

Brilliant reporting!!! Hold every one of them accountable This entire district is beyond corrupt. This reporter is a GEM 💎

Wow Ms Nguyen you’re the definition of a brave investigative journalist…

Bullies run with bullies...

This is just one example of why journalism matters. Thank you for your reporting.

School bullies grow up and become this guy…

This is beyond bullying

I feel a big lawsuit against the school district coming soon. 😂

The superintendent needs to go as well. Not even having the courage to respond to questioning speaks volumes.

There needs to be a follow up on this one.

The superintendent needs to be dismissed or fired!!!

This is what narcissistic gaslighting looks like

Report him to OSHA, labor board, etc

I can’t believe how GUTLESS and SPINELESS the superintendent was to just stare and speechless when asked a number of questions . How pathetic of her !!

These days unless a toxic workplace is this visible, they usually get away with it, I'm grateful to be working somewhere I'm respected nowadays

"why do you think he put your desk on the roof?" Because he's a CHILD! 🤬

Typical corporate job cutting tactic. Hire a supervisor to bully, harass, and intimidate older workers so they will quit. Then hire a bunch of younger workers at half the regular salary.

Damn, she's going to be named personally in that lawsuit. Bye bye retirement and pension.

Bulling at work is sooo stressful

that lady superintendent was given a chance to distance herself from the bully, instead she just kept her mouth shut and now looks like an accomplice to the workplace harassment

Her silence spoke volumes.

I would be afraid of what those 3 people would do to me and my family, for speaking out. They are dangerous.

Major safety concerns with no rails , ladder not secured ! Time to get a lawyer involved !

As a teacher who was mobbed and bullied as well as sexually harassed by my past Dean, this behavior, is absolutely unacceptable. UNACCEPTABLE.

Wow, he's now responsible for millions of dollars. Who will audit the work of this person who has ties to the superintendent and a former chief of police?

Call OSHA. Done.

That dude is in charge of administering almost $200m. That’s completely insane. How is someone with such a reactionary temperament supposed to make proactive decisions? That’s mathematically impossible.

this is not a personnel matter.. this is a criminal matter

I LOVE that the superintendent got confronted at that board meeting. Can’t hide lady!

That silence was deafening.

This guy is TOXIC!!!! Thank You for making this public and challenging that Superintendent!

That Stephanie Anello really showing that she’s a piece of work. She’s not even bothering to deny anything, didn’t even speak. Her silence was deafening.

i hope they take all of them to court and get a good payout for what they were put through. she is just as bad as he is and both need to be held accountable.

I had a similar bully boss at the Cambridge Housing Authority in MA in 2003. Many people he supervised had quit before I started working there because of him. A consultant who had worked for him had told me, "you know, he isn't normal, he screams at people" before I started, but I didn't see it and took the job anyway. Until I disappointed him in some way, he acted normal, but then changed on a dime. He had a great relationship with the Authority's Director and was therefore protected from outbursts of his toxic anger. I was advised to take medical leave for the awful anxiety I felt from working with him. Later i met someone who had been his boss at his next job, in a private company, and he had treated her the same way, with toxic outbursts of anger. A horrible experience for both of us.

Bullying and harassment.

Please call OSHA department due to safety concerns!

The superintendent looked like a student who had been caught smoking in a bathroom. Absolutely speechless with the realization that NO excuse she could come up with would be plausible. Not only does she and the maintenance supervisor need to be fired, but her boss (if she has one) needs to be held accountable as well. This goes FAR beyond the scope of unacceptable behavior. People need to come together and fight against two the worst aspects of humanity, which are narcissism and sociopathy. Especially in government.

Her weird silence says it all!

The boss needs to go straight to jail. Harassment is a CRIME.

Damn! She didn't say a thing and looked so guilty.

We the people need to start standing up united if you expect changes!

Thank you for reporting on this. Horrible behavior for a grown man in a public position around children. He needs to go!

Who is above them? By the silence, she speaks volumes. Who is controlling her? Are they also stealing school funds? Why does she not hold herself accountable for what is happening on her watch?

Wow corruption of power and position. That superintendent is pure trash.

Bullies should be held accountable and this is a prime example

Why not get lawyers against

That guy is a sociopath. What a joke. He needs some physical therapy.

NBC: As a follow-up, please let the public know the salaries and total compensation packages of Kenneth Turnage and Superintendent Annello. Props to Candice Nguyen for showing up at the School Board meeting with cameras.

We have all met bosses like this. Give them a little power and they become monsters.

The silence says it all

SUE. SUE. SUE. That man should be fired, he is a psychopath.

Y'all not tripping. He is a problem.

I was a teacher for thirty years in California. Taught in five different districts. This is how it works. In every district. There are "made men" who do whatever they want and no one can touch them. Everybody knows who they are, too. These people are supposed to be public servants. School boards are supposed to oversee the superintendent and his/her administration. In practice, once a superintendent is in power, he/she is a monarch and can ignore the public and the board. Many school board members get elected to the unpaid position so they can set up friends, family, and business associates with lucrative school district jobs and contracts. The public is checked out of the whole process and doesn't demand accountability--and the teacher and classified union heads are along for the ride. Each of my five districts wasted an estimated 30%-40% of their budget, sometimes more. In one district, a company owned by a relative of a board member scored a twenty-five year contract to replace every doorknob in every school every three years at $1200 per door (the lever-style door handles cost $350 retail). The doorknobs last 10 or more years with heavy use, but instead of replacing them when they break, perfectly operable ones are replaced. Just one example of political corruption draining your tax funds.

Good to know there is still actual journalism going on.

Corruption all around.

His behavior is making the school district liable to a very costly lawsuit. Take him on people!

I'm thankful for these brave employees! I hope they get relief!

These employees spoke up knowing they would have a target on their backs. The district office must be full of accomplices. Imagine how many teachers have been bullied out of this district. Clearly the union is choosing not to cross this superintendent. Don't stop investigating!

This man is absolutely a bully and needs to be fired immediately! What a jerk. Talk about cronyism.

confronting the superintendent in the meeting was really tenacious!

It’s time for a lawsuit

That reporter 💪🏾 Great job showing up at the meeting and cornering her. I applaud you ma'am. 🫡

I don't understand how using humiliation is a joke.

They should all sue that district. Always keep a paper trail when being targeted by co-workers or superiors.

Bravo to Candice!!!! Amazing work and going to the board meeting!!! So much guts!!! Thank you for fighting for them

This is like a episode of the Office. Jim pranking Dwight. This time Jim got pranked

He’s a bully and feels invincible because of his connections for sure. THIS is how bullies get into power and stay in power - surround yourself with idiocy so no one can pinpoint the idiot.

Lawsuit immediately!!!!

Michael, Jim hide my desk.. 😂😂 The office

“I loved my job!” “There’s no reason why I couldn’t work longer.” I feel each one of their comments. Gaslighting in the workplace is being ignored and people who work hard are victims. This needs to be addressed across the country 💯

OMG, Reporter Candice Nguyen sets the gold standard for going after officials who duck reporters by addressing the board directly! Wow. Most reporters just don’t have the balls. My two cents - since the Superintendent went mute, wouldn’t answer Nguyen's questions AT ALL, it was fair game to go after her bosses, the board itself if this was acceptable school district management by the Superintendent and her buddy-protectionism practice. Nguyen is on her way to a Peabody award, etc, etc and journalism HOF if she keeps this up. Well done. Thank you!!!

It is sad that incidents like this occur in other school districts not only our local ones.

This is outrageous. How is this acceptable ?

Wait he can't handle his employees properly so you give a bunch of money to him to manage I'll be waiting for your next news story about about school funds that was not manage properly

Superintendent Stephanie Anello invoked her right to remain silent at the board meeting, in order not to self-incriminate herself. Yup, she sounds innocent to me.

Oh no. This town will need to keep track of where those funds are being spent.

THIS BOSS NEEDS TO BE FIRED AND THE SUPERINTENDENT!!! They are ALL BULLIES! This is NEVER EVER EXCEPT-ABLE PERIOD!!!

I bet some crazy embezzlement is happening here between the three of them.

This is why local news is important. The most egregious abuse of power is often at the local level. Great tenacious reporting by Candace & NBC Bay Area.

These are the people teaching our children. Explains a lot.

Great Reporting!👏🏽

She needs to be held responsible. Resign lady!! You’re not running your district appropriately & things have gone to sh@t. The one at the top is always supposed to be held responsible.

I don't want a bully in charge of a school district? RECALL!

This happened to me too, my desk was moved into the hallway and faced the wall next to the vending machine by the lunch room...another time she took my computer away and when we refurbished the office I was the only person put in a 4 person cubicle alone away from the other staff. I had the best boss and when he left she took over and forced me to do her work for her...bullying is not worth putting up with, I should have left a long time before I did for my mental health.

Great reporting Candace 💙

That just cost him his job. I bet lawyers are blowing this guys phone up wanting to be his attorney.

So this bully’s actions were addressed by giving him a promotion? I hope that these individuals get a good attorney and sue the hell out of the school district and administrators.

I am glad for this report. Though cases like this is not one and only, it happens often in other places.

Give someone a powerful position and their true self comes out.Thanks to NBC Bay Area for doing this report and public service.Please do follow up reports.Thank you again.

Ok, I see what is going on. That guy and the company is clearly discriminating against older workers, AGISM.

Uh oh, looks like this report will soon reach out to the whole Bay Area, the state, and soon karma is going to hit to that man child bully and those employees covering for him.
