Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[11]

Noteworthy events

2016: Failed recall attempt

See also: Manteca Unified School District recall, California (2016)

Efforts to recall Alexander Bronson, Ashley Drain, and Sam Fant from their respective positions as representatives of Areas 6, 2, and 1 on the Manteca Unified School District Board of Trustees did not make it to the ballot. Both Bronson and Drain resigned before the efforts could move forward. The recall effort against Fant continued after their resignations, but recall supporters were unable to gather enough signatures to get it on the ballot.[12]

Bronson and Drain faced criminal election fraud charges over accusations that they lied about their addresses on election forms.[13] While Bronson resigned from the board on May 12, 2015, the accusations continued for Drain and Fant.[14] Both were named in the San Joaquin County Civil Grand Jury's report that outlined inappropriate behavior by board members. Fant and Drain were accused of using “perceived power to inappropriately achieve their ends.” On August 11, 2015, the board voted to accept the report.[15][16]

Drain resigned from her Area 2 position effective August 25, 2015. According to the district's administrative assistant Chelo de Leon, Drain gave no reason for her resignation.[17]

In September 2015, leaders of the recall effort said they would continue their push to recall Fant, but that effort ended when they did not turn in enough signatures by December 24, 2015.[12][18] In 2018, Drain was sentenced to 15 months of home detention for election fraud.[19]
