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.[10]

An effort to recall Jose Lalas from his position as the Trustee Area 1 representative on the Corona-Norco Unified School District Board of Education in California did not go to a vote in 2022. Recall supporters did not submit petitions by the deadline on September 2, 2022.[11]

The Riverside County Registrar of Voters approved the recall petition in May 2022. Recall supporters would have had to collect 6,915 signatures to get the recall on the ballot.[11][12]

Recall supporters cited Lalas' support of mask and vaccine requirements in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. They also said Lalas supported critical race theory. Lalas said that he supported mask and vaccine requirements in order to keep students, teachers, and community members safe. He also said the district was not teaching critical race theory.[13]
