Our local school board should be focused on educating our students not using their seat as a platform for higher office while allowing district staff to run amok behind the scenes.
From national media coverage to local editorials, the district has become a case study in failed leadership and oversight. They point to repeated failures in fiscal oversight, student safety, and transparency—ranging from questionable trustee perks amid massive budget deficits to inadequate responses to violence, sexual abuse, and controversial curriculum decisions. At the same time, the Board has pursued costly legal battles against charter schools like Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA), diverting funds away from classrooms while cutting essential staff amid a massive $180 million deficit.
This pattern of dysfunction points to a deeper issue: a Board lacking the experience, independence, and focus required to responsibly manage a large public institution. Too often, trustees have acted more as followers of staff agendas than leaders accountable to the community. Whether it's mishandling curriculum decisions, failing to safeguard students, or prioritizing politics over student outcomes, the consequences are now undeniable. With hundreds of teacher layoffs approved, the Board faces a defining choice: continue funding lawyers and failed initiatives—or refocus on classrooms, collaboration, and the core mission of public education.
