After Resigning Amid Controversy, Melissa Herrera Is Running Again — Voters Deserve the Full Story

Dear supporters,

Since this petition began, serious concerns about governance and accountability in Valley Stream have only intensified. 

Trustee Melissa Herrera resigned from the Valley Stream Central High School District Board earlier this year following a wave of controversy and allegations tied to her conduct. Now, she is seeking election once again — asking the community for renewed trust without ever fully addressing those concerns.

We believe voters deserve to see the full picture at http://vs24corruption.com/

The site lays out, in detail, the pattern of allegations that led to widespread concern — including claims of:
• Pressuring administrators over matters involving her child
• Retaliatory actions against district staff
• Conduct that resulted in legal action and reputational damage to the district

It also provides a clear breakdown of all candidates running in the upcoming Valley Stream District 24 school board election — identifying those with no known conflicts of interest and those whose records raise serious questions.

This is not about politics. It’s about accountability.

If we want better leadership for our schools, we have to demand it — and that starts with being informed.

Please review the information and share it with others in the community! Election day is on May 19th!
