School board members, elected by voters, should protect the students and act as gatekeepers for public education. Appointed school leaders should answer to the board and the community, uphold high professional standards and preserve excellence.

We urge you to attend a special board meeting on Wednesday, November 15th at the Poway Unified School District (PUSD) to demand the school board investigate Superintendent Marian Phelps and hold the school district leadership accountable. Dr. Phelps has engaged in a number of egregious wrongdoings for personal gains, propagating untrue allegations of bullying, falsifying documents to trump up the bullying narrative, and retaliating against witnesses in opposition. Yet, the PUSD Board has refused to launch a transparent and thorough investigation into her bad conduct.

On November 14, 2023, the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) Board of Education will hold its regular meeting in which a proposal to change admissions requirements in Lowell High School and Ruth Asawa School of the Arts (RASOTA) will be discussed. This proposal is yet another example of the education bureaucracy’s shameless attacks on merit-based public education and the ominous war on tests. In the name of prioritizing “historically underserved students,” the recommended changes in admissions process would certainly hurt the academic rigor and education excellence at SFUSD’s selective high schools including Lowell.

Only when local stakeholders get organized and get involved that public school leaders will be pressured to address the negative impact of a corrosive culture on students and the community. This is precisely why we need local watchdog groups like the PUSD Community Watch. In fact, we need one watchdog in every school district to stand up to bad leadership, monitor school policies, finances, programs and curriculums.
