For four long years, I have tirelessly sought accountability for abusive staff and employees within the Antioch Unified School District. However, my pleas have fallen on deaf ears due to the nepotistic relationship between Superintendent Stephanie Anello, board members Mary Rocha, Gary Hack, and most recently Clyde Lewis, our local police department, and the Antioch Back the Blue. This has allowed supremacy in Antioch to go unchecked for years.

Superintendent Anello's poor decision-making, lack of leadership, and misuse of funds have only exacerbated this issue. She has allowed bullying of multiple victims on staff to go on. Her actions and inactions are not only a gross violation of her duties but also a betrayal to every student who depends on her leadership for their education.

It is time that we take a stand against such blatant misuse of power. We demand an immediate investigation into these allegations and call for the dismissal of Superintendent Stephanie Anello if found guilty. Our children deserve better; our community deserves better.

We urge all residents in Antioch, CA, USA to sign this petition - let us ensure that those entrusted with our children's education are held accountable for their actions.
