The Mountain View Whisman School District is halting its $189,000 contract with energy healer Alycia Diggs-Chavis for meditation sessions after parental protests concerning budget priorities.
Superintendent Dr. Ayindé Rudolph attempted to clarify that the contract was essentially for stress-related meditation, emphasizing the focus on recentering rather than on any spiritual or energy healing practices.
Trustee Devon Conley expressed her shock regarding the expensive contract, comparing it to an investment in a chaplain, stating she wouldn't support spending on sound and energy healing.
Principal Vern Taylor defended the healer's work, stating that Alycia Diggs-Chavis had helped him combat severe stress and avoid quitting his job.
