The Grand Jury report found Stockton's superintendent turnover rate to be highest in state Author: Eden Harris Updated: 4:32 PM PDT July 22, 2021 STOCKTON, Calif. — The Stockton Unified School District (SUSD) Board of Trustees has come under fire after a report from a San Joaquin County civil grand jury cites a failure in leadership. The San Joaquin County grand jury released a 33-page report which they title as “Dissension, Dismay, and Disarray.” The report highlights how the board's poor leadership resulted in a high turnover rate for school superintendents and the board's lacks transparency. “Before the open session meeting to hire the board attorney on February 24, 2020, the Stockton Unified School District Board of Trustees did not make the contract available to the 16 public and the minority-voting trustees. This lack of transparency caused anxiety and increased mistrust among the board, the staff, and the public,” the report cited.
