Parent tells board her child's IEP goals have not been implemented, urges intervention

Sandra Santiago used the meeting’s public-comment period to raise an ongoing special-education complaint, saying her son’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) provisions set in prior years have not been implemented and that district staff have not provided effective support.

Santiago told the board she brought documentation and asked to share it directly with Superintendent Doctor Sandoval. She described repeated meetings and said the district was failing her son, telling the board, "The one that they're failing is my son." She said her family has experienced what she characterized as mistreatment and asked for the board to step in or to advise whether the district cannot meet her child's needs.

Board members acknowledged Santiago’s concerns, thanked her for attending, and several members invited further private follow-up with administration. The board did not take any immediate action during the meeting but public-commenters’ complaints of this type are typically routed to district staff for response and investigation per district procedure.
