Parent group urges board to keep Avila Elementary principal, saying he has deep ties to campus
Summary
A parent speaker representing Parents United asked the board to support principal Mr. Lea at Avila Elementary, calling his service "a journey of loyalty, heart, and purpose." The comment occurred during the public comment period; no board action followed.
Linda Gonzales, speaking during the public comment period as a member of Parents United, asked the board to support Avila Elementary principal "mister Lea," saying the principal’s connection to the school is personal and long-standing.
Gonzales said Avila Elementary is more than a workplace for the principal, calling it “his home away from home” and added that he “left at the chance because this school, these families, and these children meant something deeply personal to him.” She framed her remarks as advocacy on behalf of families who want the principal to remain at the campus.
The comment was part of the meeting’s public-comment agenda item and no board action was announced in response during the meeting. Gonzales identified herself as representing Parents United.
The board reaffirmed decorum rules and time limits for public testimony before the speaker’s remarks.
