The San Diego Unified School District is holding a special closed-session board meeting Friday afternoon to discuss the findings of an internal investigation into Superintendent Lamont Jackson.

The board may vote on “public employee discipline/dismissal/release,” according to the meeting agenda.

The 2 p.m. meeting will include time for public comments before the board goes into closed-session deliberation. School board President Shana Hazan is expected to make a statement at the end of the meeting.

Jackson has been under investigation since last spring for allegations that the district would not disclose. In April the school board hired the law firm Sanchez & Amador for about $100,000 to conduct “sensitive internal investigations” that officials later confirmed were about Jackson.

When asked about the investigation Thursday, district spokesperson Maureen Magee and Hazan declined to comment.

Jackson did not respond to emailed requests for comment.

Jackson has officially been the superintendent for just two and a half years. He is currently paid $433,125 annually, Magee said.

The board voted unanimously to choose him as superintendent in March 2022 after a more than yearlong selection process. Board trustees said they chose him for his long track record with the district and what they said was his charisma and ability to build community with others.

By that point, Jackson had already been serving as interim superintendent for a year after previous district leader Cindy Marten left to become deputy U.S. education secretary.

Friday’s news adds to a tumultuous beginning for San Diego Unified’s school year, which is wrapping its third week.

Earlier this month, a report by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights was released saying that San Diego Unified had failed its duties under Title IX, the federal law meant to protect students from sex-based discrimination, from 2017 to 2020. During that time, San Diego Unified was led by Marten.

The agency found that San Diego Unified had failed to show it followed through on Title IX investigations of alleged sexual misconduct toward students by other students and by staff, kept poor recordkeeping of cases and failed to train employees on Title IX, among other things.

Besides the investigation into Jackson, the district has also been conducting another internal investigation into many allegations of misconduct, including harassment, retaliation and discrimination, against supervisors and the former chief of the district’s police department.

A lawsuit filed by 11 school police officers last year alleged that former chief Alfonso Contreras had a decades-long romantic relationship with a sergeant and that he had sexually assaulted an officer.

The lawsuit also claimed that Jackson had retaliated against another officer by intimidating his girlfriend, a teacher; the suit claimed Jackson sat in on her class without prior notice and gave her an unwanted hug.

It was announced in May, just two years into his new job, that Contreras would retire from the police department.

In separate court filings in June, attorneys representing Contreras, the school district and Jackson denied the allegations, claiming that employment actions taken were for legitimate, non-retaliatory reasons and blaming plaintiffs for failing to take care for their own safety and failing to exhaust administrative remedies.
