–The Paso Robles Joint Unified School District (PRJUSD) Board of Trustees met in a special meeting Tuesday afternoon and evening to continue the discussion of their response to the San Luis Obispo County Grand Jury report, “Paso Robles School District: A Cautionary Tale” that says poor leadership and management resulted in the district’s financial crisis. The meeting was held for only one purpose, and that was to work on the response to that report.
At the outset, several members of the public called in to provide input. Local resident Dale Gustin talked about the history of the budget problems with the PRJUSD, which he said occurred over several years. Residents Kim La Chance and Peter Byrne each encouraged the school board to turn the report and their response over to the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney for review.
