Parent tells Alisal Union board she was denied a public record and alleges staff misconduct; superintendent will follow up
Summary
A parent said she was denied access to a public record (a school sign‑in log), alleged disclosure of confidential information and discriminatory treatment, and said staff told her she needed an attorney; the superintendent said the district will contact her and discuss the matter privately because it concerns a student.
During the public‑comment period a parent, Myra Rodriguez, identified herself as the stepparent of a student at Johnny Stanabeck Elementary School and asked for the board’s help obtaining a public record — specifically, a sign‑in sheet showing dates, times and staff contacts. Rodriguez said she had been told by school staff and HR that she could not receive the record without an attorney or a court order, and alleged she had experienced discrimination, harassment and a breach of confidentiality by an office clerk that prompted a police report.
Rodriguez said she had attempted to contact the principal and HR and felt disregarded. She asked the board to help her obtain the requested public information. The chair and Superintendent Missus Anzo responded that the superintendent or the superintendent's designee would call Rodriguez the next day to follow up, and that some details would need to be discussed privately because the matter involves a student. "You will get a call from the superintendent or her designee," the chair said.
The board did not resolve the allegation or produce the record at the meeting; staff committed to a follow‑up call. Because the claim involves student information, the board indicated further discussion would occur in a private context as appropriate.
