Public comments to Twin Rivers USD about charter school problems
ABC10 has reported on a disruptive set of public comments about one of the charter schools under the purview of the Twin Rivers Unified School district (TRUSD). Since the public's comments were about an item that was not on the publicized agenda for the school board's 01/23/24 meeting, the Board Members were not allowed (by state law) to take up the matter at that meeting. However, state law does not preclude Board Members from commenting on the testimony or instructing the District Superintendent to look into the matter and calendar it for a future Board meeting if needed. ABC10's video showed that the school board said nothing and the Superintendent dodged questions about whether TRUSD would do anything. Governance-wise, the optics of the video were not pretty.

No doubt this is not the end of the story. Nor is it likely that charter schools elsewhere in our area are squeaky clean, whether in TRUSD or other school districts.
