HAVE YOU BEEN BLOCKED FROM COMMENTING ON YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT'S SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT

Threat of SCTA first amendment lawsuit forces Superintendent Aguilar to unblock posters to Sac City social media accounts.
Facing a threat of a first amendment lawsuit from SCTA, Superintendent Jorge Aguilar unblocked posters to the District’s social media accounts. In a Friday evening letter to SCTA, Mr. Aguilar wrote the he “is unaware on any individuals who are blocked.” Mr. Aguilar did not mention that the district appears to have unblocked those who were previously blocked just before he sent his letter.
We are aware of at least one teacher who remained block and notified Mr. Aguilar so that he could correct it. If you are aware of anyone who remains blocked please let us know.
