McFarland School District Management Study

The Kern County Superintendent of Schools conducted a management study on the McFarland Unified School District. The conclusions of the study were disappointing but not surprising. Over the past year the school district has gone through some difficult times with failed recall attempts, election fraud, and finally the election of two new board members that have been found guilty of misdemeanor charges. The district is having a difficult time recruiting people and reducing employee turnover. But who can blame potential candidates for being cautious about taking positions at this school district when the work environment is so chaotic.
