Parent tells Fallbrook board her child faces racial slurs; superintendent to follow up
Summary
At public comment, parent Brenna Walker Oswego said her sixth‑grade son has been targeted with racial slurs at school and asked the district for action; President McBride asked Superintendent Hazel to follow up with the family.
During the public‑comment period, parent Brenna Walker Oswego told the board about racial‑bullying incidents affecting her sixth‑grade son and urged the district to address the matter.
"My son faces that every day," Brenna Walker Oswego said, describing repeated racial comments and the impact on her child’s willingness to attend school. She said a teacher had informed the family about the incidents, and she described specific epithets directed at her son.
President McBride expressed sympathy and asked Superintendent Hazel to follow up directly with the family and discuss next steps. "That type of language has no place in our schools," McBride said, and requested that Hazel contact the family.
Hazel acknowledged the board’s request and thanked the parent for bringing the situation to the district’s attention. No formal disciplinary details or actions were announced during the meeting; Hazel was asked to follow up with the family and report back as appropriate.
The comment came amid a broader set of recognitions and presentations; trustees and staff emphasized the district’s commitment to student safety and the need for follow‑up when incidents are reported.
