Recall efforts

2024
See also: Nancy Loera recall, Hacienda La Puente Unified School District, California (2024)

An effort to recall Nancy Loera from her position as the Trustee Area 2 representative on the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District Board of Education in California did not go to a vote in 2024. The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk rejected the notice of intent to recall for not meeting requirements set by the California Elections Code.[1]

The recall effort started after the school district set up a reconfiguration plan that included closing four schools due to declining enrollment. Loera's district, Trustee Area 2, included some of the closed schools.[1]

The table was limited to the lower chamber because it provides the most granularity. State house districts tend to be more numerous and therefore smaller than state senate or U.S. House districts. This provides an impression of the partisan affiliations in the area.

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. To protect student privacy, percentages are reported as ranges for groups of 300 students or fewer. If five or fewer students were included in a data set, the data will display as "PS."[3]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

School year All (%) Asian/Pacific Islander (%) Black (%) Hispanic (%) Native American (%) Two or More Races (%) White (%)
