FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Just 34 days after taking his oath of office, newly elected Fresno Unified board member, Maj. Terry Slatic is under fire.

The Board of Trustees met Tuesday in closed session with legal counsel in anticipation of litigation.

The district provided a statement, confirming the incident and investigation that reads in part:

"This matter is confidential and therefore, we are not at liberty to provide any specifics."

As for what's next, the district is waiting to comment until they receive board direction.

Slatic has not returned our request for comment.
