Her actions are having undeniably profound, andnegative consequences on students, of which she is fully aware. Although the health department and the Governor issued guidance andexecutive orders concerning education, Costa is undoubtedly using her local authority to reduce the district's liability and keep students out ofthe classrooms. She continues to survey parents/staff, who have responded with a majority vote to return to school; and continues to voteagainst the return to in-person learning even when it was safe to do so. Much of the "guidance" Costa is using appears to conflict with or hassuperseded long standing taws and education codes. Actions of Costa have clearly reduced the instructional minute students receive. Parentscan no longer condone these reckless and ill-advised actions of Costa. She was elected and sworn to uphold laws; not outside "guidance" shehas allegedly received that facilitates disparities, widens achievement gaps, and harms students in ways she has failed to either calculate,consider, or resolve.^[7]

Juan School District trustees, the majority of whom were justre-elected in November 2020. I was proud to be re-elected tomy third term by the San Juan community and have faithfullysought to fairly represent students, staff, and families, not onlyduring this horrible pandemic, but for over 30 years in the SanJuan School District. I have read every email, listened for hoursto public comment at Board meetings, read every survey,Superintendent communication, and California Department ofPublic Health and CDC guidance memo. The Board has workedhard to balance student learning with safety for all, whilecomplying with the complex layers of local, state, and federallaw. We modified students' academic learning programs,followed science and recommendations from our national andstate health officials, instituted distance learning, issuedlaptops and "hot spots" to students who needed help, andincreased social/emotional services through district counselorsand social workers. Students now are returning safely toschools but there is much more that we need to do. The lastthing we need is an expensive and divisive recall election thatdistracts us from the hard work which lays ahead.^[7]

(for those who wish to do so) as soon as legally possible. I have not been shy in making my voiceextremely clear at every possible opportunity.
Unfortunately through a combination of constant shifting by the State of California, we were preventedfrom a full in person classroom setting until recently.
My comments made publicly from board meeting held on February 23, 2021.
"l would like to thank all that reached out concerning the topic. I too, was hoping/praying that the statewould allow or give us something to return under our current agreement. However, I feel we are passedon relying on the state and we are at a point that we do ALL and Everything we can so that our kidsreturn ASAP. Even if that means our K-6 return first and hopefully our secondary will follow thereafter. Iam hoping we can work together with all parties to make this happen. Districts that surround us havereturned to in person learning and we too must return to in person learning for our kids"^[7]
