During a recent Eastside Union High School District meeting, a parent raised serious concerns regarding the handling of misconduct allegations against a teacher at Evergreen Valley High School. The parent expressed frustration over the lack of action from both the school and district, despite multiple complaints. They questioned the transparency of the institution, highlighting issues of selective student transfers from the teacher's class, which they argued undermined fairness and accountability.

In response to the public comment, the board moved on to the superintendent's report, where it was announced that WestEd has been contracted to assess campus safety and protocols. The report is expected to be shared after the winter break.

The board also discussed the termination of a lease agreement with San Jose State University for a community clinic at Oak Grove High School, due to budget cuts affecting the university's ability to maintain services. The board unanimously approved the lease termination, allowing the district to repurpose the building.

Further discussions included the second reading of proposed amendments to board policies on sexual harassment and sex discrimination, which were also unanimously approved. Additionally, the board reviewed proposed amendments related to charter school authorization and special education policies, with concerns raised about the implications of certain language changes in the special education policy.

The meeting concluded with a call for further discussion on special education issues, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder engagement in shaping effective policies.
