Opinion: Christopher Arend responds to criticism of school board actionsI am writing this opinion piece in my capacity as just one member of the school board of the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District (the “PRJUSD”) and not on behalf of the entire school board or the PRJUSD in response to an opinion piece written by two local activists Yessenia Echevarria and Camille Katz published on Oct. 26 in the Paso Robles Daily News. Use of Spanish at board meetings:A prime example is their discussion about using Spanish or, for that matter, any foreign language during Board meetings. The school board is accordingly required to conduct its meetings in English. I continued to insist in subsequent meetings that people who are fluent in English should address the board in English. Resolution condemning racism and the PRJUSD ethnic studies course:I am also personally very proud of our PRJUSD resolution condemning racism.
