Fabiola Bagula, the interim superintendent of San Diego Unified, speaks at a school board meeting on Sept. 10, 2024. Bagula, who had been Jackson’s deputy superintendent for more than two years, was confirmed by the board as the interim superintendent on Sept. 10. Bagula had previously been a principal and area superintendent in the district, and before becoming deputy superintendent was equity director at the San Diego County Office of Education.
It was in those claims that two former administrators, Monika Hazel and Tavga Bustani, accused Jackson of quid pro quo sexual harassment and other misconduct. In, Hazel also lodged specific allegations at Bagula: She accused Bagula of telling Hazel to speak to her in a “baby girl” voice while cowering towards her and of making a racist comment by saying that another person had “White-womaned” her.
Once she realized the comment “could be perceived as derogatory,” Bagula said she took “immediate responsibility” by apologizing and reporting the incident. Bagula told The San Diego Union-Tribune in an interview last month that she is focusing on two priorities as interim superintendent: implementing the district’s newly-adopted student outcome goals and addressing its budget deficit.it would need to close a $176 million deficit in its unrestricted general fund for next school year. It has already swallowed a $114 million deficit for this current school year.
The district also wants to boost college and career preparedness of graduating students from 60% to 72%. And it has set goals to improve communication and students’ extracurricular participation, among other things.
