During Tuesday’s Paso Robles school board meeting, a slew of comments from the board and public spoke on the recent controversy regarding trustee Kenney Enney and the alleged misuse of district credit card spending. “over the past several weeks, trustee Enney publicly accused the district and its administrators of misusing funds. Those accusations… relied on partial information and missing context,” a public comment said, which then called for the censure of trustee Enney.
The board circled back around to this at the meeting’s end during individual deliberation. Before that, there was a presentation given on the California public records act requests the board received from January 2026 through the current date. The presentation provided the number of hours, and subsequently the cost, for responding to these records requests. The presentation said the district has spent about $85,000 in costs for these requests since January this year. About $17 thousand of these costs were for legal fees regarding a complaint filed by Berkley Baker, which was determined to be unsubstantiated. Trustee McCoy said “I hope our community does not listen to the lies that are being spewed in our community by individuals that charge our district 17 thousand dollars.”
During individual board comments, Nathan Williams said, “I am concerned about the manner in which accusations involving district employees have been publicly communicated, and the potential consequences of presenting disputed allegations as established facts.” He continued by saying: “I believe a resolution of censure should be considered through a fair and transparent process.” Laurene McCoy said “Mr. Enney… you sit here and you talk about bullying, and you are the biggest bully of them all, and have just torn apart these people that have put so much time and effort into our district.”
The board adjourned its meeting, and may bring a formal agenda item to censure trustee Kenney Enney in the future.
