The final two board meetings of the year closed with student and staff recognitions, a new Facilities Master Plan, and a four year contract for incoming Superintendent Dr. Austin. Records requests and a letter from the Orange County District Attorney are now part of the public record.

Since the May 12 and May 14 board meetings, we have heard from hundreds of parents, educators, alumni, and community members. The response has been overwhelming, and it has reinforced what we already knew: this community cares deeply about its schools.

Over the past two weeks, we have spent our time listening, researching, and reviewing what has been shared with us. We are sharing what we have learned because transparency matters, and because this community deserves to understand how we arrived at this moment.
