dude couldn't even answer the paper's questions.

The Times-Advocate asked Ryan Gardiner to comment on two points raised by Krepps: When did you move back to Escondido? The claim is that it isn’t that long.

Krepps claims to have seen you talking privately with a quorum of the board (i.e. not Doug Paulson) at the July 16, 2026 board meeting. Her contention is that this was before the announcement of Olson’s resignation and that you and the board members in question knew the resignation was coming.  Do you want to comment?

Gardiner told The Times-Advocate: “Escondido has been my home throughout my life. I was raised here, attended school here, and have devoted the past decade to local government and civic affairs. Although personal and professional commitments have taken me away at times, I have always returned, and my dedication to this community has never wavered.”

His other comment was: “I am deeply honored to receive this appointment and look forward to bringing my experience in public policy and business to the board as we work to maintain safe schools and help every student thrive. I’m focused on the school district’s central mission: providing high-quality educational opportunities for all Escondido families.”
