LVUSD Does Not Take Security Seriously Enough
Description
Just like everywhere else in the nation, narcotics are rampant at Calabasas High School and Agoura High School, including but not limited to the football and baseball teams. Students and student-athletes come to school drunk and high on all different types of illegal narcotics, including but not limited to Marijuana, Acid, and Shrooms. Some coaches, like Coach Chev of Agoura Charger Baseball, are aware of the substance abuse by athletes and have gone out of their way to keep the kids out of trouble by alerting them when drug-sniffing dogs are coming to the school. Although the district has not publicized any of this information, they recently announced that they have hired 3 retired law enforcement officers for a one-year trial. Still, only because they had use-it or lose-it funds left from Measure G, or else they would not have entertained this fantastic idea. Hopefully, when this trial contract expires, they’ll find the funds to continue with these officers and maybe even beef up the staff.
Taken from the LVUSD School Board Meeting on Tuesday, 8/30/2022.
Las Virgenes Unified School District spent over one million dollars on fencing this past summer and did not get the whole district done; just 4 schools and only patching their existing fencing.
When the assistant superintendent mentioned the expense, a board member seemed confused because the board member thought the total district-wide fencing cost was one million dollars, not just this past summer's expense.
Two board members were absent, and the other two did not provide their perspectives, including the Board President.
What is the board for if there is only one board member holding the district accountable?
