What Do You Think of SCUSD's Principal Pink Slip Process?
A school district spokesman shares information on the process that may apply in the case of Leise Martinez and others at Rosemont High School.
Rosemont High School Principal Leise Martinez said she and the school's two assistant principals have been notified they'll be out of work next year.
But she doesn't think a final decision has been made yet, and said Superintendent Jonathan Raymond was receptive to some of her points when the two spoke recently.
So what happens now? Is it possible for pleas to the district's top official to turn into something that would save Martinez and the two assistant principals' jobs?
Sacramento City Unified School District spokesman Gabe Ross said he couldn't talk specifically about any particular person, but explained the process in general this way:
"Administrator notices are recommended by the Superintendent and approved by the Board before being issued. Because they are certificated employees, Ed Code dictates that they must be noticed by March 15 – just like other certificated staff such as teachers. The Superintendent can rescind notices at his discretion before they become final at the end of May (of course, the Superintendent typically seeks input from various sources throughout the process). These decisions are not made lightly nor unilaterally."
