A June 4 civil grand jury report has found that the Grossmont Union High School District's governing board — in a 3-1 vote in 2023 — decided to change mental health providers based on what the report characterizes as 'falsehoods and misrepresentations' about the care being provided to transgender and LGBTQ+ youth. The consequence was concrete: six mental health clinicians and a suicide prevention program were abruptly removed, leaving students without access to those services for four months. The grand jury issued 10 recommendations, including directing GUHSD to allow San Diego Youth Services to provide East County Behavioral Health Clinic services to three district high schools through June 2027. The district has 90 days from June 4 to formally respond.
On a more celebratory note, Grossmont Union graduated 4,725 students in ceremonies on June 3 and 4, including 418 from Santana High School and 315 from West Hills High School. Grossmont and Cuyamaca Colleges awarded more than 6,230 degrees and certificates to nearly 2,500 graduates at their own ceremonies, with more than 1,700 Associate Degrees for Transfer among the credentials conferred. Looking ahead, the Santee School District is launching a new Career Technical Education program in Fall 2026 for seventh and eighth graders, backed by a $215,000 grant, with Digital Media as the first 12-week elective, co-developed with GUHSD teachers.
The San Diego Padres are struggling on the road in St. Louis. Game 1 on June 15 ended in a shutout, 0-3. Game 2 on June 16 went 2-3. The team plays tonight at Busch Stadium at 6:15 PM Pacific on MLB.TV, going for a series split. The roster is under significant strain: closer Mason Miller went on the bereavement and family medical leave list June 15, catcher Freddy Fermin is on the 7-day injured list with a concussion, Miguel Andujar is on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain, and Nick Castellanos was released June 5. Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove, Nick Pivetta, and Ramón Laureano remain on the 60-day IL simultaneously. At 37-35, the Padres sit second in the NL West, but the Cardinals at 40-31 have been the stronger team in this series. San Diego returns to Petco Park Saturday, June 20.
