The backlash from San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Cheryl James-Ward’s comments linking Asian students’ academic success to wealth reached the board room on April 20, with over three hours of public comment and a loud outpouring of calls for her resignation or firing.The action taken in closed session that ended after midnight, was supported by SDUHSD President Mo Muir, Vice President Michael Allman and Clerk Julie Bronstein; Trustee Katrina Young voted no.
