ENCINITAS The San Dieguito Faculty Association has collected enough signatures to force a special election for Trustee Area 5 of the San Dieguito Union High School District after Trustee Ty Humes was appointed to the seat last month.
“We’re going to continue to collect signatures for a little while longer to far exceed the bare minimum of 399,” SDFA President Duncan Brown told The Coast News. “We will wait for that to go through and then we would look to see who are the candidates who would like to put their name in. There’s an endorsement process that we have done for any election and then we would move from there.”

“We believe that voting is an important part of the democratic process,” said Duncan Brown, president of the SDFA in a news release. “People serving on the governing body of our district should be elected in a way that reflects the wishes of the constituents of Area 5, to ensure that their interests are fairly represented during any school district decision-making process.”

A California high school teacher was caught on a Zoom video telling students to "dare" their parents "to come at" her in response to parents' collective push to end remote learning and have their children return to in-person classes full time. The teacher added, "I am so sick to my stomach of parents trying to tell educators how to do their job."
