School board President Shana Hazan expressed disappointment, stating, 'We're as disappointed, frankly, as the public is that additional information is coming to light right this week that none of us were aware of.' This highlights the disconnect between district leaders and trustees regarding serious allegations against a former superintendent.
Following complaints from two former district administrators, the investigation that transpired substantiated claims of sexual harassment against Lamont Jackson, leading to his eventual firing from the San Diego Unified School District.
In response to the allegations, San Diego Unified claimed they acted immediately once aware of them. However, newly released documents revealed prior anonymous reports had been ignored or deemed unnecessary for investigation.
The district’s approach has raised questions about accountability and transparency, with the board learning about reports of misconduct only because of media inquiries, raising concerns over leadership’s communication with trustees.
