Karen Sylvester is complicit in supporting this board's decisions. Though she may come across as quietly polite, she consistently votes in line with the other progressive extremists pushing these failing policies. Outside of the same 10-15 usual supporters (who will be listed later), nearly every parent in this district has encountered challenges with at least one of the following issues: academic performance, adequate support for special needs, proper assessments and services for IEPs, ineffective bullying policies, dress code enforcement, or the mixing of genders in bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports, among others. *Note: Image from Niche — even current CVUSD board supporters recognize Niche as a valid source.*
Learn MoreConejo Together: An activist group started by Mary Anne Van Zuyle, Jon Cummings and Betsy Connolly with the goal to take over the Conejo Valley School Board in 2020 with all Progressive Democratic Candidates. They are also linked with Indivisible Conejo as you can see in this letter written (click learn more) in 2022. Karen and Gill are both very active with Conejo Together in falsly promoting to the community that our schools are just fine and performing amazing by discrediting parents concerns.
Learn MoreKaren Sylvester stood by and supported all of the Board comments and backed every board member that dismissed parents wanting to have knowledge when controversial LGTBQ material would be presented in elementary classrooms to their children. The district said NO, we WILL NOT tell parents if we will read a transgender book in class. We support the teacher's decision and we will not inform you. Karen will hide this from you and tell you there is nothing to see here. Supported by the extremist progressive liberal "Indivisible" movement.
