Laguna Beach Unified does not need more suspicion, more spin, or more public undermining — it needs responsible governance before the damage lasts for years.
I think this board majority has already "[torn] apart trust, stability, and professional culture," and the only way to recover is to elect a new board majority in the fall. It is imperative. They are doubling down rather than listening to measured voices such as yours, the board minority, union leadership, staff, their own superintendent, and administrators. Every meeting is worse than the next one, and this week has two!
