I live in this school district and was part of the group of parents that got these board members recalled. The issue is forcing educators to report it instead of trusting them to do the right thing. If they have a good relationship with the parents and know it’s for the best to tell them what is happening with their student, or if they suspect there’s something going on in the home where it’s better for the student to keep their confidence, the decision should be up to the teacher to do what is right. These are not black and white situations. Also, regardless of anyone’s opinion on the issue, the state had already made a policy, so these board members knowingly made a political decision that cost the district millions of dollars to defend in court, knowing they would lose. They didn’t care, because they have no kids in the schools here. They were political activists using our kids as pawns. To the curb with that trash.
Hi I live in this district and was part of the recall effort. Those board members didn’t have kids in OUSD schools. They send their kids to private school. I don’t know where they live, but they are politically active in other nearby communities outside the district and would encourage extreme political activists that don’t live in our district to come make a circus out of board meetings. Their focus was not on kids or schools. Their interest was only in chaos.
