This Fall, voters in District C will vote to replace Cody Petterson on San Diego Unified’s school board. SDEA members have endorsed Hayden Gore, an experienced educator and current middle school teacher who was an organizer and the first union president for the High Tech Education Collective, the union representing certificated and classified staff at California’s second-largest unionized charter network.
