Tamalpais school board member ordered to stay away from parent he harassed with profane emails

A Marin County Superior Court judge on Thursday granted a restraining order against Tamalpais Union High School District trustee Kevin Saavedra, barring him from contacting or approaching a district parent who said he had harassed her for nearly a year.

Saavedra, a two-term incumbent seeking reelection in November, used his district-issued email last year to tell the woman, Ina Gotlieb, to “go f—- yourself you stupid old crone.” According to the restraining order, he continued the harassment, by emailing her that he was “asking your neighbors about you” and using his campaign email to tell her she was a “s—– person.”
