Mayor Cheryl Cox to Host Community Conversation Focused on New Leadership for Sweetwater Union High School District
With the support of National City Mayor Ron Morrison, Imperial Beach Mayor Jim Janney and San Diego Councilmember David Alvarez, Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox today announced she will host a free public community conversation on the topic of preparing for new leadership at the Sweet-water Union High School District. The event will be held at Chula Vista City Council Chambers on Wednesday, May 28, 2014 from 6 to 8 p.m.
This event will likely reach capacity and attendees must be registered. Those who wish to attend can register at no cost by visiting Mayor Cox’s web-page for the registration link and to take a short survey: ChulaVistaCA.gov/goto/Mayor
“Great educational systems make great communities, so we need to pull together and talk about how we can collectively drive change to reverse the bad news and ask future policy makers to refocus on quality education for students,” said Mayor Cox. “We’ve had too many years of troubled leadership at Sweetwater. I say we take this chance to put a stop to it and set a course for excellence so we can once again highlight the great work that we know is going on in many classrooms throughout the district.”
Currently, California’s largest grade 7-12 school district is faced with uncertainty resulting from the potential need to replace an entire board of trustees in the fall, and the imminent need to recruit and hire a new superintendent for the current superintendent who has indicated he will retire later this year.
“The goal of this conversation is to create a constructive environment in order to foster a set of community-driven priorities and qualities for Sweetwater’s new leadership in an effort to avoid future corruption, get a clear picture of the district’s true financial condition and provide direction for what will hopefully be many years of organizational success,” said Cox.
