We, the undersigned, demand immediate action from the Rialto Unified School District (RUSD) Board of Education and administration to address the longstanding, systemic issues of sexual misconduct within the district. For far too long, students, families, and staff have suffered under a culture of silence, neglect, and outright failure to protect the most vulnerable. It is time to put an end to the practice of "passing the trash"—moving problematic staff rather than holding them accountable. In order to begin the necessary and overdue cultural shift within RUSD, we call for the immediate termination of the following staff members who have either engaged in, enabled, or failed to act against sexual misconduct within the district. Their continued presence in RUSD represents a direct threat to student safety and perpetuates the widespread failure of accountability that has plagued this district for years.

We demand: The immediate termination of all staff members implicated in sexual misconduct, inappropriate behavior, or failure to report such incidents in accordance with the law and ethical obligations. Full transparency regarding the district's past handling of misconduct allegations, including how many reports have been filed and what actions were taken. The implementation of a zero-tolerance policy for sexual misconduct, including mandatory reporting procedures, annual staff training, and an independent oversight committee to ensure enforcement. Justice for past victims, including support services, public acknowledgment of the district’s failures, and active efforts to prevent future harm. The history of sexual misconduct in RUSD has caused immeasurable harm to students and their families. We refuse to accept inaction or complacency any longer. We demand accountability, transparency, and a firm commitment to student safety. The first step in this process is the immediate termination of those who have violated the trust placed in them as educators and leaders. We, the undersigned, insist on urgent and decisive action to protect current and future students from further harm. RUSD must demonstrate that sexual misconduct, or any form of impropriety, will no longer be tolerated or ignored.
