During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the staffing levels at local schools, particularly at UDLA and Morales Junior High. A speaker highlighted that UDLA has approximately 25 fewer staff members compared to similar district campuses, raising alarms about the safety of students and staff.

The speaker noted an increase in physical altercations at Morales Junior High, which they attributed to the reduced staffing. Despite the curriculum remaining unchanged, the speaker warned that the current situation could lead to teacher burnout and potential accidents, prompting parents to consider transferring their children to neighboring districts.

Emphasizing the urgency of the matter, the speaker called for immediate attention and support from the district to ensure a safe and secure learning environment for both students and educators. The meeting underscored the critical need for increased staffing to address these pressing concerns.
