The board currently models bad behavior for our kids. Staff and district management don't trust each other. No confidence votes, No wonder the community is not confident in the district.

High performing districts regularly spend 50% or more of their time on issues that are directly related to monitoring student achievement. PVUSD regularly spends less than 10% of board time on this most essential topic.

Decisions are often made in secrecy while study groups have unfinished business. and important people are not present for input and discussiob There is little transparency in budget and planning, or student achievement. Consultants are hired and renewed without clear definitions about scope of work and deliverables. The strategic plan has more "activity goals" and not enough "outcome goals".

I've watched budget debates and collective bargaining debates where different sides are using different information. Student programs are evaluated without data about accomplishments or regular progress reports. Students do not regularly have learning plans with benchmarks for progress.
