The San Diego Democratic Club (SDDC) will host a panel discussion on a new initiative to reform the governance structure of the San Diego Unified School District at the Club’s March 24 meeting.
The initiative is being sponsored by a group of parents and business leaders called “San Diegans 4 Great Schools.” The organization is sponsoring a signature gathering effort, which would require 95,000 valid signatures by April 26. If there is a special election in June regarding the state budget and extension of temporary tax hikes, the initiative could appear on that ballot.
The panelists include Scott Himelstein, President of San Diegans 4 Great Schools and Director of the University of San Diego’s Center for Educational Policy and Law, and Richard Barrera, President of the San Diego Unified School District Board of Education.
The San Diego Democratic Club meets March 24 at 7 p.m., after a social at 6:30 p.m., at the Joyce Beers Uptown Community Center in the Uptown District shopping center in Hillcrest.
