SALINAS, Calif. - The State Board of Education will hold a special meeting Tuesday to address one of the most troubled school districts in the county.
Alisal's new superintendent John Ramirez Jr. says, he was unaware about the special session and was never notified by state education officials.
This agenda item was posted on the California Department of Education web site Sunday. It notes the state is considering additional actions for the Alisal Union School District for purposes of taking immediate action to protect the public interest.
"I'm going to be on the phone tomorrow," says Ramirez. "So, I know what it's about."
That's the reaction from John Ramirez, after Central Coast News pressed him for details on this special meeting. He says, he's looking for answers just like we are.
"I'm aware of the details," says Ramirez. "We became aware of it as it was posted, so we have not been able to contact anyone at the state department yet, but we are planning to address it on Monday."
Central Coast News made several calls to the State Board, but they could not be reached Sunday. Ramirez thinks the State Board will discuss the state trustee that was assigned to the district
