LBCC President Reagan Romali fired

Long Beach City College’s Board of Trustees fired District Superintendent-President Reagan Romali Wednesday evening after a closed session meeting.

The Board came to their final decision to fire Romali after a 4-1 vote, placing her on short administrative leave before final termination.

The decision came just days after information of mishandled public funds and accusations of corruption was leaked by the Long Beach Post.

Romali said that she does not have any information as to why she has been fired, but that the board has voted to do so.

Amid the voting period, two other votes were cast by the board members, both of which Trustee Sunny Zia opposed. No information on topics of the votes has been revealed.

In November of 2019, the board had reportedly hired a private investigator to suss out any supporting information on allegations against Romali.

President Trustee Vivian Malauulu, who led today’s meeting, has declined to comment at this time.

The board has confirmed the dismissal of Romali, but no members have been reached for comment.
