The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
A questionnaire published by the Southern California News Group detailed the priorities of Sonja Shaw, a candidate for the Chino Valley Unified School District board. Shaw stated that the superintendent’s role in the state’s education governance structure had changed due to a budget deal reached that summer. She plans to serve as an independent check on the Education Commissioner’s office, pushing for greater oversight, fiscal transparency, and accountability.
Why it matters
The candidate intends to challenge the current structure by calling out waste and defending successful local practices. Her priorities include pushing for improvements in reading, math, and financial management within the system.
