April 29, 2024–Public Advocates’ Law Fellow, Karissa Provenza, spoke with Ed Source reporter Monica Vasquez about West Contra Costa USD’s response to the William’s complaint PA filed in February. While the district has acknowledged it’s failure to remain in compliance with the law, it blames the issue on a statewide problem. Provenza, representing three teachers said the district’s response is insufficient. “They offer no solution or even a plan to discontinue these illegal practices. The response they’re supposed to provide is supposed to show how they’re actually solving the issue or attempting to solve it. Unfortunately, the district is illustrating a complacent status quo attitude towards fulfilling its legal obligations.”
