Recall Pacifica School Board for Our Kids' Future

The Pacifica School District Board of Trustees has repeatedly failed our community and students by disregarding transparency, inclusiveness, and sound decision-making. Their rushed and flawed “reconfiguration” process excluded meaningful parent input, ignored student well-being, and violated best practices and laws that safeguard public trust. Their decisions risk dismantling Ocean Shore School and Vallemar Schools’ unique K-8 model, despite substantial evidence of its academic and social-emotional benefits.

The Board’s neglect of fiscal responsibility is alarming, as demonstrated by incomplete analyses of reconfiguration impacts, wasted public funds on recent campus improvements, and misleading financial projections. This recklessness jeopardizes educational equity and alienates the community.

Further, the Board has marginalized parent voices, shutting down dissent, failing to address public records requests, and conducting critical decisions in closed sessions, potentially violating the Brown Act. Their behavior has fostered mistrust, driven families out of the district, and undermined our children’s emotional well-being.

We need leaders who will act with integrity, transparency, and respect. The Pacifica School District Board of Trustees has failed to uphold these values, and their decisions continue to harm our students and community. It is time for accountability and leadership that truly serves the best interests of our children.

We have officially initiated the recall process for the four members of the Pacifica School Board. This process requires a total of $3,000 in fees. Of that, $2,500 will be allocated to publish the recall, as mandated by the San Mateo County Elections Office. This step must be completed before they will accept the filing of the notice of intent. The remaining funds will go toward materials and printing for the 5,200 signatures needed. We are working against a tight deadline with the Pacifica School District, so it’s crucial that we act quickly. Thank you all for your time, effort, energy, and ongoing support. Together, we can make this happen for our community and our children! Let’s show our children that we have the power to create the change they want to see in their future!
