Parents, students press board on campus safety, alleged staff conduct and track access

During the public comment period, three speakers raised safety and discipline concerns and asked the board to take action.

A parent who identified herself in the record said her daughter reported being struck by a teacher and criticized a deputy's handling of an earlier classroom incident. The speaker said she had sought enforcement and was dissatisfied with the response.

Fernando (public commenter) complained about multiple district actions, including a change to the board's meeting frequency, social-media removals, handling of a prior student assault investigation, and principals' conduct. He said his family obtained a restraining order after local investigations and urged the board to hold staff accountable.

Student Sergio Limus, who said he is the varsity track captain, told trustees that lack of access to a proper track forces sprinters to train on harder surfaces and that he and teammates are experiencing shin splints and other injuries. He proposed limited supervised access or a single access point to allow safe entry and exit to a track so teams can train effectively.

Trustees did not take immediate disciplinary action during public comment. Several trustees and the superintendent acknowledged the concerns and said investigations or human resources would address personnel matters where appropriate; speakers said they might provide additional evidence at a future meeting.

Claims and responses recorded in the meeting remain unresolved in the transcript and are being handled or referred to human resources and school administration for follow-up.
