Mount Shasta Community Unites to Protect the Community’s Access to Quality Education: Three Votes of No Confidence Demand MSUSD Board of Trustees Remove Superintendent Beall
Mount Shasta [May 11, 2024]-With deep concern for the future of Mount Shasta Elementary and Sisson Schools, a coalition of 85 MSUSD parents, representing 101 current and incoming students, has submitted a vote of no confidence in Superintendent Tami Beall to the MSUSD Board of Trustees. Adding to this, 50 Mt. Shasta community members have expressed grave concerns in their own vote of no confidence. These actions, alongside the vote from the MSETA (teacher’s union), signal an unprecedented display of support for teachers and a plea for the MSUSD Board of Trustees to take action to preserve these incredible schools by immediately removing the superintendent.
The parent vote states: “As partners with this district, we submit this vote to demonstrate our grave and sincere concerns as well as our commitment to supporting MSUSD’s short- and long-term welfare.” Parent concerns resonate deeply, evoking distressing allegations of the superintendent’s unprofessional communication with parents, her devastating impact on school climate, and the parents’ sense of exclusion from crucial decisions. Furthermore, there is a pervasive fear surrounding the potential limitations on educational options, community engagement restrictions, conflicts impeding efforts to boost enrollment and attendance, and the potential for escalated legal fees for the district.
