Last week, I shared an update about the goings-on of Peoria Unified School District (PUSD). A special meeting was requested by members of the governing board asking for the board to consider voting for new leadership.
| Over the last four years, there have been MANY reasons why Board Member Rooks should have been stripped of her title, but the straw that broke the elephant’s back happened when she ran to the press after she didn’t get her way. At the April 23rd meeting, she asked for an independent investigation into the mandated reporters at Centennial High School, but the board voted to table that (3-2) to allow the active investigation(s) to continue. |
| Board Members Rooks and Bowles have spent the last few weeks demonizing their own district and insinuating that educators and the teachers’ unions want to protect child abusers. She’s also said as much about her colleagues on the board, claiming there is a districtwide “coverup” of abuse. Her removal was about her disregard for the will of the board, violation of board policy, political grandstanding, and interference with active investigations involving alleged pedophiles. |
