SHOCKER: SAC CITY USD REVEALED THAT SUP JORGE WILL BE STEPPING DOWN

SHOCKER: SAC CITY USD REVEALED THAT SUP JORGE WILL BE STEPPING DOWN

In a shocking announcement, the Sac City Unified School District revealed that Superintendent Jorge Aguilar will be stepping down on Friday. This news has left many wondering what went wrong, but the truth is that Aguilar is just the latest in a long line of failed corporate education reform superintendents.

Over the years, SCUSD has been reformed nearly to death by billionaire-sponsored sups hellbent on privatizing and destroying public education. And while some may argue that these superintendents had good intentions, the reality is that they were all more interested in lining their own pockets than in improving the lives of students.

Let's take a look at the long list of SCUSD superintendents who have come and gone:

Jorge A. Aguilar – July 1, 2017 to yesterday

José L. Banda – August 1, 2014 to June 30, 2017

Sara Noguchi, Ed. D, (interim) – January 1, 2014 to July 31, 2014

Jonathan P. Raymond – August 21, 2009 to December 31, 2013

Susan Miller, (interim) – July 1, 2008 to August 20, 2009

Dr. M. Magdalena Carrillo Mejia – January 5, 2004 to June 30, 2008

Chuck McCully, (interim) – July 9, 2003 to December 19, 2003

Dr. Jim Sweeney, (interim) February 3, 1997 to October 11, 1997; Appointed Superintendent, October 12, 1997 to July 8, 2003

Mr. Ted D. Kimbrough (interim) February 6, 1996 – May 6, 1996; Appointed Superintendent, May 7, 1996 – February 20, 1997

Dr. Jim Sweeney (interim) November 8, 1995 – February 5, 1996

Dr. Terry Grier, June 1, 1994-November 7, 1995

As you can see, the turnover rate for SCUSD superintendents is higher than a hot potato in a game of hot potato. It's no wonder that the district is in such disarray.

But fear not, dear readers! The board has promised to find a superintendent who actually loves public education and wants to improve it instead of ending it. And let's be honest, that shouldn't be too hard to find.

In fact, I hear that there's a retired teacher who lives down the street from me who would be perfect for the job. She's got a heart of gold and a passion for education that could light up a room. Plus, she's never taken a dime from a billionaire or tried to privatize anything in her life.

So come on SCUSD board, give her a call! And while you're at it, maybe take a look at your hiring process and figure out why you keep hiring these corporate shills in the first place.

In conclusion, we wish Jorge Aguilar all the best in his future endeavors. May he find a job that aligns with his true values and doesn't involve destroying the futures of our children. And may SCUSD finally find a superintendent who cares more about education than their own bank account.
