FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 Parents, teachers and community members urged Fresno Unified School District leaders Wednesday, expressing growing concerns over a pattern of district decisions being made without meaningful input from the people most affected by them.<\/p>\n

The comments centered on proposed educator layoffs and the recent reassignment of five principals and 26 vice principals across the district.<\/p>\n

While speakers acknowledged district leaders have the authority to make those decisions, they argued that families and educators are too often left out of the process.<\/p>\n

“Our schools need stability, not disruption. Moving this many administrators at once breaks relationships, cripples school culture, and distracts to improve student outcomes,” says Susan Wittrup, FUSD Trustee.<\/p>\n

Many pointed to Fresno Unified’s community engagement guardrail, which states that significant decisions should include a plan for gathering and considering stakeholder input before they are brought to the board.<\/p>\n

Some also voiced frustration that administrators who had earned the trust of their school communities were reassigned while struggling leadership positions remained unchanged.<\/p>\n

Speakers from multiple school sites shared concerns about the impact leadership changes and staffing decisions could have on students, school culture and family engagement.<\/p>\n

Several called on Superintendent Misty Her and the Board of Education to involve stakeholders earlier in the decision-making process instead of informing them after decisions have already been made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO, Calif.
