Thank you for reporting about the recent SCUSD school board meeting of April 28th. It is true there were many Laurelwood community members and teachers who voiced their concerns at the meeting. It is also true, however, that teachers throughout the district courageously addressed the school board with their concerns. Specific examples were given about the direction our school district is moving under current leadership. The Laurelwood example is but one of many. As provided in our union report, “… we do not and will not accept… a method of decision-making where leadership conducts business by threat, intimidation, or using belittling and dismissive comments.” This situation is larger than Laurelwood and is indicative of the negative culture of intimidation that is permeating throughout the entire school district under the watch of Dr. Kemp.
