What happened

At the March 12, 2026 meeting, a teacher, a paraeducator who said she was resigning and several parents criticized how the school was being run. Concerns included communication with families, support for students with disability plans and English learners, and mold. The board accepted three employee resignations after closed session. The school's custodian resigned in December 2025.

Why it matters to families

The school has one campus and a small staff, so each departure matters. The LCAP mid-year update said half of staff do not feel safe at school.

The evidence

The March 12, 2026 minutes record the public comments and the three resignations. The December 4, 2025 minutes record the custodian's resignation. The February 5, 2026 minutes discuss the staff safety survey.
