STOCKTON, Calif. The Stockton Unified School District (SUSD) Board of Trustees has come under fire after a report from a San Joaquin County civil grand jury cites a failure in leadership.

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.
