**For Immediate Release from Peoria Unified Board Member Heather Rooks**
After calling a special meeting to remove PUSD Board Member Heather Rooks from her role as board president, the radical leftist majority—Jeff Tobey, Becky Proudfit, and Melissa Ewing—are hosting another special meeting on Tuesday, May 19th at 11am (while parents and community members are working) to replace interim superintendent Dr. Ryan LaDoucer.
Since Tobey and Proudfit once supported LaDoucer, the sudden flip is highly questionable. It wouldn’t surprise me if this were due to Rooks’ outspoken support for him replacing superintendent Dr. KC Somers. In case you missed my op-ed in AZ Free News detailing the “good work” Somers did at his previous school district, I will copy and paste the excerpt below.
PUSD parents and community members are convinced a cover up of sexual abuse is still happening in Centennial High School, and the district at large. The moves we’re now seeing by the radical majority only solidify their suspicions. Both AZ State Superintendent Tom Horne and Maricopa County Superintendent Shelli Boggs publicly addressed the issue surrounding Centennial principal Scott Hollabaugh’s alleged failure to follow mandated reporting laws.
If you still think this is about one board member (or you’re lost in that retarded Republican LD28 sauce), you’re missing the bigger picture. What’s happening in PUSD is happening all over Arizona, and the United States. Giving standing ovations to a worthless superintendent and allowing administrators to carry on as if no laws were broken is evil work. Those of us who care about kids will keep sounding the alarm until every parent is awakened and empowered to take control of their children’s education.
Leaving this here and this here for school district leaders who don’t know the law:
