A San Joaquin County civil grand jury has found the Stockton Unified School District Board of Trustees have failed as district leaders and will likely continue to do so.
A scathing 33-page report released by the 2020-21 grand jury says Stockton Unified trustees are the direct reason for what s been called the district s revolving door of superintendents.
Stockton Unified has had 14 interim and permanent superintendents in just over 30 years, several of which in recent years have left before fulfilling their contracts.
The report shows that nearly all assumed the superintendent role from 2005 to 2021, with only six having been permanent and average tenure lasting about 19 months. The district has changed leadership three times in the past year alone.
