There’s still the possibility of a recall election to remove Jose Morales from the SUSD board.
But he no longer has to worry about the Nov. 1 incident in which he was accused of interfering with campaign worker Cecilia Mendez-Kuan as she circulated petitions calling for his recall.
San Joaquin County Deputy District Attorney Robert Himelblau, a [...]

SUSD SARB hearing part of Channel 6 documentary
It’s been about two years since a Johns Hopkins researcher dropped the tag of “dropout factory” on Franklin, Stagg and Edison high schools. Months later, state statistics cited SUSD for having a staggering four-year dropout rate of 54.2 percent. And then, through a combination of hard work and improved bookkeeping, SUSD stunningly lowered its dropout [...]
On the Stagg budget forum, electives, SLCs and Success For All
The turnout at Stagg last night was much better than that at Franklin the night before. I’d guess about 60 people were in the Stagg auditorium at one time or another and it lasted about 90 minutes, as opposed to 40 minutes the night before at Franklin.

Petitions submitted for Morales recall
The proponents of SUSD Trustee Jose Morales’ recall beat a Thursday afternoon deadline and submitted 2,411 signatures to the Registrar of Voters about 40 minutes ago. The trio of opponents dropping off the signatures included Anthony Silva, whom Morales defeated in last year’s election.
The Registrar of Voters has 30 business days to validate the signatures. [...]
Small turnout for SUSD’s first public budget forum

The forum was at Franklin High. According to district officials, parents and caregivers received several phone messages in advance of the meeting. Yet [...]

A crowd of third- through sixth-graders packed the cafeteria at Elmwood Elementary this morning for the kickoff of a countywide effort to raise funds to send children to science camp. Between now and April, students at numerous schools around San Joaquin County will be selling raffle tickets at $5 a pop. The grand prize, to [...]
SUSD Live — 8:03 p.m.
Jason Willis says the district has about $10 million in reserves. It used to be $25 million but the district used a big chunk this year. The district is required to keep at least 6.7 million in reserve.
CSEA’s Marilyn Brown said she was concerned that cuts would be at the expense of classified workers. Interim [...]

SUSD Live — 7:32 p.m.
STA President Anne McCaughey questioned some of Jason Willis’ data. She said the average teacher makes about $55,000, not $63,000, and that when veteran teachers retire, it lowers the average salary further.
“The implication is that teachers are eating up all the money,” she said. “I think that’s very misleading.”

SUSD Live — 7:13 p.m.
CFO Jason Willis is leading an informational session on the budget for the board.
California leads the U.S. with 6.2 million students, and its teachers have the highest average salary in the U.S. at $63,640. California, however, spends only $7,571 per student, 47th in the U.S. It has 92 students per staff member, 50th in the [...]
