Parents frustrated with the Lucia Mar Unified School District Board of Education have banded together and are now calling for a recall of three school board members.
These parents say the school board failed its students by not advocating for a return to in-person learning as soon as guidelines allowed. They believe the board s actions are directly responsible for failing grades and now want new representation.
On Tuesday, parents gathered outside the Lucia Mar Unified School District Board of Education office to send a message to school board members.
Lucia Mar parents launch recall campaign against three board members

Disgruntled parents have launched an effort to recall three Lucia Mar Unified School District trustees over allegedly taking too long to reopen campuses.
Lucia Mar students returned to campus in a hybrid learning model in late February and early March. Parents seeking a recall of trustees argue the hybrid model should have taken effect much earlier, and the Lucia Mar school board should have sought a return to in-person learning as soon as state guidelines allowed for it. Had the district applied for a waiver like some private schools did, Lucia Mar students may have been able to return to in-person learning sooner.
