The TUSD board voted 3-2 Tuesday to give Adelita Grijalva a third term as the board’s president and to make Kristel Foster the board’s clerk for the 2015 calendar year.

“The consistency in leadership has been key to the success we’ve had so far,” Foster told me via phone today. “Our team is working well together, why would we change something that’s working well so far?”

The votes opposing to keep things as they’ve been came from board members Michael Hicks and Mark Stegeman—Hicks suggested Stegeman should be the new board president but none of the other board members backed him up.

Tuesday was the first meeting of the year, so the focus was on district appointments. 

The next meeting is Jan. 20 and the board will probably be discussing the culturally relevant curriculum scrutiny then.

  1. Excuse me, but there has been “no success.”

    Jan 20 meeting is right back to dysfunctional. Nothing new in that.

  2. SORRY but I wouldnt vote for any money increases SPECIFICALLY because of her “leadership” on the RACIST front.. NO Way will I vote for anymore money for THEM with her Highness on the throne!!

  4. Nice to know that the President of the TUSD School board conferences with communists, socialists, radical chicano separatists and even a known domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers, on how best to indoctrinate your children.

    La Comuna de Tucson, Meet Yourself.

  5. Despite HATERS ranging from the extreme right and a few extreme Chicanos who live to hate the Grijalvas, she won the election by a large margin. Most people want her and TUSD to succeed and believe she is doing the best she can given dwindling resources and the arrival of large numbers of immigrant students.

  6. Sorry but they are not immigrants. They are illegals.

    Imagine extreme Chicanos. What made them extreme?

  7. What a load of delusional crap. So tell me, of being so successful how many students have come back? The only team you guys might be good at is tag team wrestling. Are you guys smoking the Colorado weed again?

  8. No One from the corrupt “Grijalva Clan” should be allowed to be in leadeship positions. they practice one sided discrimination against anglos, and promote racial nepotism.. Just look at Raoul , he looks as if he crawled out of a sewer after a night on the town .. No wonder nothing gets done in Tucson .. They promote eachother, and it feels as if we live in Mexico and not the USof A.
