Summary
Sarah Liebert, AUTA president, said teachers are exhausted by frequent violent student behaviors and asked trustees for consistent safety protocols, more staff support and transparent reporting on Proposition 28 arts funding and equity across sites.
Sarah Liebert, introduced herself in public comment as AUTA president and urged immediate, transparent action on student safety and staff supports. She described "the frequency of violent student behaviors including hitting, spitting, kicking, and punching staff and students" and said disruptions were leading many teachers to contemplate stress leave or leaving the profession. Liebert asked the board to clarify enforcement of disciplinary measures and to outline plans for mental‑health resources and reduced workload for teachers.
On Proposition 28 arts funding, Liebert asked for detailed reporting on how funds are spent across the district, what programs they support, and how the district measures equity and student engagement. She requested fiscal accountability and community involvement in budget decisions for those funds.
