Trona Joint Unified has a major leadership issue from the superintendent to the two principals. They are completely disconnected with the students, teachers, and support staff. Parents and students do not feel that the leadership or teachers have the best interest at heart when it comes to the students they serve. Only if Special education student parents knew their rights and was aware of the schools, especially the high school do NOT follow the students IEPs; parents should ask for data to support whether their students have actually met the students goals, as there is none and the evidence that they are tracking the service minutes is non-existent. How about that they had ONLY 2 paraprofessionals to push in to provide service minutes to Sped Students, but the district removed one of those paraprofessionals to work on the elementary side and NEVER replaced that para on the high school side. High school is supposed to have 2 Sped teachers, but only has 2 and the one case manager has more students on their caseload that legally allowed unless appropriate paperwork was filled out and approved by CDE... has that happened. Do not get me started on how the current counselor is worthless, not knowledgeable, and has a horrible rapport with students and staff. County of San Bernadino needs to step in, do a audit, Release most who work there, and fix what is broken.

Staff does not seem to care about the kids or the town itself. SOME of the staff appear to care more about themselves and how they can make things easier for them. It seems they do little for the student body and as little as possible to get through the day

They tend to assign more homework then they're willing to grade and return with positive criticism

Some teachers appear to be inexperienced with little guidance
