Linda Elementary PTC president urges board to explain assistant principal reassignment

During public comment at the April 28 Marysville Joint Unified board meeting, Liza Carbone, who introduced herself as head and president of the Parent Teacher Club at Linda Elementary, told trustees the community is "still very not happy about that decision" to remove the school's assistant principal (referred to in the transcript as "miss b"). She said the PTC has sought back-and-forth communication with district staff and asked for clearer responses from the board and administration.

Carbone invited trustees to a school Spring Fling planned for May 15 (listed on the flyer as running approximately 6 to 8 p.m.) and urged board members and district leaders to attend so the community and trustees can "build more relationship with you guys." She thanked specific district staff who had responded to outreach and asked for follow-up where it was outstanding.

The transcript records a brief scheduling clarification from the Chair about the event time but does not show trustees responding to the substantive personnel concern on the record. The board later conducted routine business, including approval of minutes, consent items and a resolution recognizing Teacher Appreciation Week.

Why it matters: Personnel decisions at individual schools can affect school climate and parent‑district relations; the commenter requested clearer communication and trustees’ presence at school events to strengthen ties.

What the record shows: Carbone spoke during the public comment period and asked for more outreach and clarity; the transcript does not record a response from trustees addressing the personnel decision itself.
