"My expectation and my hope would be that the district is actively listening to parents and their needs for children,” said Shelley Villalobos, incoming CUSD parent. She wants to know her daughter, Antoinette’s, curriculum before she starts school in the fall. “What are the subjects, what are the key bullet points that they are going to be taking away from as far as key outcomes,” Villalobos said.
