West Contra Costa Unified School District

"I made a call to resolve doubts, however the person who answered is impatient, with a notorious apathy, he does not allow you to ask questions freely. Evidence of their lack of availability to the community!"

"David Johnston needs fired. He doesn't respect people's rights. Especially the 1st amendment #NorCalCopWatch"

"Just watched a video of David and Margarita in such an unbelievable manner towards an individual with a camera. They spent their working hours just standing around and blocking this gentleman from accessing public areas. Also in this video there is an area that is seen with a bunch of chemicals that are improperly stored in a hallway. Here is the link https://youtu.be/iMhp2iXR_2o?si=IuMyXngJQF9-DIDd Why do we pay these public employees such high salary just for them to act in such a horrible way."

"I can't say much about West Contra Costa Unified School District, but I remember I came here to take a writing assessment to prove my English proficiency. Out of 5, I scored a 5 for the topic I wrote along with what I learned before high school. Then when I went to enroll in Pinole Valley High, I got placed in ELD in a class where there's no agency of students to push boundaries nor care about what their next steps are after English Language Development or graduation. It explains most schools here, except for Aspire Richmond Cal Prep. Came out of that curriculum and using what they taught me in university. This entire school district needs to readjust and prove better teachers and better standards for kids, it's sad to see most schools lack the support and teachings for the youth to transition to advanced learning."

"Unfortunately, the start of the 4th grade school with Stege is not starting off with positivity. We're short staffed meaning we don't have a permanent 4th grade teacher among other grade levels that also don't have teachers. The front staff and principal are amazing and trying they're best to do right by our kids. But the school district doesn't care about educating or young brown and black students. Why be in this field or accept your position if your not going to help or try to make improvements? My child has been at stege since 2018 and it's actually gotten worse. The structure and the school itself needs repair. I don't want to move my child, but I may have no choice. This is Sad, because I went to Nystrom, Portola and Kennedy and we never experienced what our children our going through."
