The League of Women Voters (LWV) of North County San Diego has sent a formal advocacy letter to the Carlsbad Unified School District (CUSD) Board of Trustees, urging greater transparency in how the district tracks and responds to bullying and hateful conduct.
The letter was prompted by a February 26 incident at Poinsettia Community Park in which an Aviara Oaks Middle School student was surrounded by peers, subjected to racial slurs, prevented from leaving, and struck by another student.
The League raised concern that key district resources — including the Forward Together progress dashboard and the No Place for Hate school activities link — are difficult to locate on the CUSD website, limiting families' ability to evaluate the district's response to such incidents.
Citing its position on PreK–12 education and its broader commitment to transparency and accountability in public governing bodies, the LWV called on CUSD to make these resources more accessible and to clearly communicate how bullying and hateful conduct are handled districtwide.
