Mehta is currently the BOE president who was embroiled in a controversy a few months ago, with many from the community calling for her resignation.
Mehta was under fire over refusing to answer direct questions on her communication with the board attorney. She later refused to resign and the BOE passed a resolution asking the New Jersey School Ethics Commission to review Mehta's conduct.
