Residents urge support for Lemon Grove Academy and teachers; board asks staff to research pickleball for July joint meeting
Summary
Members of the public spoke in support of Lemon Grove Academy Middle School and retaining teachers; a group of pickleball supporters also commented. The board asked staff to research pickleball for possible discussion at a July joint meeting with the City.
Several members of the public addressed the Lemon Grove School District Governing Board during the hearing of citizens on April 18. Tamika Anderson spoke in support of Lemon Grove Academy Middle School and Tamara Muhammad. A group of community members and pickleball advocates (including Alejandro De Arch, Allen Beach, Juliet DeAmicis, Erica Dietrich, Daniel Earl, David Eckler, Daniel House, Harry Lam, Penny Martinez, Lisa Razo, Nick Rizzo, Andrew Swimmer, Linda Swimmer, Becky Toth and Kaity Wrieden) provided comments. Jacquelyn Jourdane, a teacher at San Altos Elementary School, spoke in support of retaining teachers.
The board did not take formal action on public comments at the meeting. Separately, under 'Future Board Agenda Items' the board directed staff to research pickleball to determine whether to include it on a joint meeting agenda with the City in July 2023.
Public commenters and the board were recorded in the minutes; the transportation agreement listed as item 7.Q was pulled from the consent agenda to return at a later date.
