The South San Francisco Unified School District Board of Trustees has issued a statement related to a parental complaint which was made last year. The statement was read by Board President Judith Bush during the trustees’ Jan. 15 meeting.
The statement follows:
“As many of you know, several weeks ago, we received a parent complaint concerning the District response to a bullying incident based on race at the El Camino High School campus. The District retained an outside law firm to conduct an independent, third-party investigation of the response of the District staff to this incident. The investigation has been completed and the investigation found that the District staff responded appropriately under the District protocols.
“However, the District is committed to continuous improvement, and in the course of investigating this matter, the Board and Superintendent identified opportunities for improving the tone, environment and communication at the school for the benefit of the District’s students, parents and staff. The Superintendent has been working and will continue to work with staff to develop and implement measures to make these improvements happen.”
Extremely glad to hear this – it’s been a long time coming.
glad to hear that.
