Triston Ezidore

The sources establish Ezidore's elected CCUSD role and his private employment with Highland. The current search did not identify a public CCUSD contract, award, procurement decision, grant partnership, or other transaction with Highland Electric Fleets. Highland's relationships with LAUSD, LA28, state lobbying firms, and other school districts are therefore recorded as Highland relationships, not as actions by Ezidore personally unless a source specifically establishes his participation. Separate 2025 sources document Ezidore's participation, while serving as Board President, in a CCUSD/Amazon/Culver City Education Foundation school-support event and his public support for the Board-approved DEFENT/Defense Diagnostics fentanyl-test-device pilot. These records establish public-board participation and partnership context; they do not establish that Ezidore personally negotiated either arrangement or received a financial benefit. The 2026 campaign-finance record shows Highland Chief Commercial Officer Brian Buccella gave $500 to Ezidore's school-board committee on September 11, 2026, and Actum Director Mayra Valadez gave $100 on August 5, 2026. Actum is separately documented as Highland's paid lobbying representative before LAUSD on electric buses. Highland's federal corporate PAC is tracked separately; no direct PAC contribution to Ezidore was located in the reviewed local receipts through September 19, 2026. These facts establish reported giving and professional relationships, not motive, coordination, influence, or wrongdoing.
