Blog note: This news report refers to a prior year grand jury report.
VALLEJO (KRON) — As more
parents come forward with concerns about safety at schools within the Vallejo
City Unified School District, KRON 4 has learned that the Solano County Grand
Jury also voiced similar concerns.
In a report, the Grand Jury
confirmed the concerns of parents, staff and community members in regard to the
safety at Vallejo High School. In the report they state that they saw a lack of
discipline enforcement, and non-adherence to the student handbook.
They also reported an absence
of communication between District Administration and the Vallejo High School
teaching staff. Along with that, an absence of communication between the
Vallejo High School Administration and the schools teaching staff was reported.
After conducting their
investigation, the Grand Jury offered 15 recommendations to various problems
throughout the school.
At the end of their report, the
Grand Jury offered these comments:
“The Grand Jury is aware there are
socio/economic issues within the City of Vallejo which impact the District’s
ability to provide a safe environment within its schools. However, the actions
of the Vallejo City School Board, Vallejo City Unified School District and
Vallejo High School Administration have exacerbated the challenges in
effectively managing teacher and student safety within Vallejo High School.”
