Turlock Unified School District

This morning drop off was a bit Foggy...

Going through this school system was a good experience, despite what others say it really was not bad at all - so long as you're a good student. The staff work with you and the teachers are always helpful and never turned me down when I needed help. Even with my learning problems, they made it enjoyable and fun, mainly my sophomore English teacher. He showed off The Hobbit in a very interesting way to to point where I got back into reading. All in all, this is a really good school system and don't let the bad reviews fool you, if you actually tried in the school it wouldn't be bad so don't trust the lies.

Terrible experiences from allowing child to leave school supervision and teachers lying about it (Mrs Swart) once issue was brought to court. School failed to monitor or enforce outsiders from entering the campus and classrooms without first getting clearance or verification. Schools dress code policy is illegal and implements a pay to wear policy for essential clothing. (In CDE complaint process at the moment). This district has endeavored to oppress the rights of students and parents by refusing to obey California dress code laws meant to stop this sort of behavior. As per student pupil fees it is illegal for this district to force students to pay the schools affiliate organization for the privilege to wear a hat. The district also violates the requirements to give notice for changes in dress code policy and refuses to obey state laws allowing parents to opt out of following dress code policies. Dana Trevethan also states the school is implementing these illegal policies because other schools have done similar things not because there is a need to. After a complaint was filed against these practices the school said they have the right to implement these policies under the uniform laws and at the same time says they do not have to obey those laws because they are using them to generate money from only hats and not other clothing types.

The transportation department is the worst, they have the most incompitent supervisor. She has no professionalism what so ever!!! The worst thing is the department is not doing anything about it the supervisor that has no management skills! I guess they do not care about District reputation.

I have a great night class. Would be even better if it was 2 nights a week. But it gets me out of the house.

I asked them if they have the number for the district's transportation faculty wondering if our bus is coming. Instead, they gave me the wrong number and things are awkward.

My time at turlock high school half was bad half was good.. My last few years were good
