An Open Letter to the Board of Trustees Of the Visalia Unified School District

The effectiveness and organizational heath of the VUSD is essential to the health and vitality of the greater Visalia community. All students benefit when they are educated in a school district in which the board, employee team, and community at large are unified in purpose, priorities, and direction.

The authority and responsibility for appointment of the superintendent lie solely with the Board of Trustees. Times of change in district leadership can create uncertainty, suspicion and division. These conditions can result in the erosion of effectiveness and quality of services provided to students, families and employees.

In as much a times of change can also provide opportunities for building unity of purpose and direction, we the undersigned strongly encourage the Board of Trustees to unanimously support a process for superintendent selection that provides for broad-based community involvement, including:

Thank you for your service to our community and commitment to the best interest of every student and family.

Respectfully,

Robert Line
