Parents Speak Out On High School “In Crisis” Thursday evenings board meeting of the Julian High School District brought to light the concerns of parents who believe the administration to not doing the best for their students. Parents; April Perez, Tammie Krieger, Kara Gentry all expessed their concerns that the district’s overall health is in question. The school is not using qualified substitutes for the classes they are teaching and in some cases students have substitutes for 4 of their 6 classes. A concern that Superintendant/Principal Heflan is not on campus to deal with issues as they arise and her living out of the district in Riverside County only exacerbates the problem.
