For the past 12 years, Peter Avila has been the principal of the San Francisco immersion school Marshall Elementary, but a series of complaints have recently emerged regarding Avila\u2019s leadership, in particular, his lack of bilingual communication and multiple allegations that he discriminates against Latino families.<\/p>\n

The complaints, which go back years, have been brought forward by multiple former parents and Marshall community members, who say that Avila has created a hostile environment for students, teachers and parents.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Avila] doesn\u2019t support the community and when I say \u2018the community\u2019 I mean the school community and the Mission community in which the school exists. He treats the white families and the Latino families very differently,\u201d said Susan Cieutat, an organizer and former parent at Marshall. Cieutat was one of four parents who made complaints public during a March 12, 2019 meeting of SFUSD Board of Education.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t the first time that parents had approached the Board of Education regarding Avila.<\/p>\n

On May 29, 2018, six parents sent testimonies regarding Avila\u2019s behavior via email to the Board of Education and Superintendent Vincent Matthews. The testimonies alleged Avila being adversarial with parents, eliminating tutoring programs and parent-student lunches, and making important decisions without first consulting Marshall parents and teachers.<\/p>\n

Beatriz Gudino, whose child went to Marshall Elementary back in 2009 and is herself a Marshall alumni, has also questioned Avila\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

In 2009, Gudino said her daughter\u2019s kindergarten teacher was physically disciplining the students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a teacher that had been targeting three kids and was pulling their ears,\u201d Gudino said, explaining that when kids were sitting at the edge of their seats, the teacher would pull the chairs from under them while pulling their ears. \u201cMy daughter was one of them, but we didn\u2019t find out this was going on until the end of the school year.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Gudino, parents were not notified of what was occurring in the kindergarten class despite the administration and Avila being aware of the situation. Parents were only notified at the end of the school year, at which time the teacher was transferred.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey moved her [the teacher] to fourth grade and during that time a lot of white parents came in,\u201d said Guidino. \u201cThere were a lot of white parents complaining and they wanted to get her out and with those voices, he [Avila] paid attention, but he didn\u2019t pay attention when it was the Latino parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gicella Galves de Alvarenga is another former parent at Marshall elementary who had a negative experience with Avila. According to Galves de Alvarenga, Avila allegedly shouted at her in the school yard in front of children, because he had sent her a letter telling her she wasn\u2019t allowed at the school without his authorization.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn March 23, he intimidated me and he started shouting that I had to go to the office to sign in if I wanted to enter the school, although I was already in the school yard,\u201d said Galves de Alvarenga.<\/p>\n

After the altercation, Galves de Alvarenga immediately went to the school office signed her daughter out of Marshall for the day and never returned. She has since transferred her daughter to a different elementary school.<\/p>\n

Incidents such as these have motivated parent and community organizers to file multiple complaints against Avila to the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). Though El Tecolote has confirmed that these complaints were filed to the district, parents and alumni still haven\u2019t received a response. Despite multiple emails, El Tecolote has yet to receive a comment from the SFUSD.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been complaining about problems and this principal since my daughter was in school,\u201d said Guidino. \u201cI really think it\u2019s an injustice to the families and you see the treatment at the border, and SF considers themselves a sanctuary city but they can\u2019t even get it right in one little school.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Marshall community members that El Tecolote spoke with, school traditions such as parent story time, parent-student lunchtime, El Dia Del Ni\u00f1o and parent involvement in general have slowly been diminishing under Avila\u2019s watch. These school traditions have been an integral part of the school\u2019s identity. And parents say their removal have led to a tense and unwelcoming school climate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what he does,\u201d said a current Marshal teacher, who requested to remain anonymous for fear of retribution. \u201cHe has other people talk to the Latino parents and tell them they\u2019re not supposed to be here, that they\u2019re distracting with learning and distracting the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parents sharing meals with their kids has been an important cultural tradition at Marshall elementary. This was extremely beneficial given that a large population of the Marshall parents have jobs that require them to work evening shifts, which then results in parents not spending much time with their kids.<\/p>\n

Sharon Hoff is a recent Marshall Elementary parent whose daughter just transitioned from Marshall to middle school. Hoff has seen the decline of the parent\/child lunches throughout the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a lot of the Latino parents, that was the only time they could visit with their kids because they had afternoon jobs in the evening,\u201d said Hoff. \u201cThey basically cut it down from every day to once a week to once a month and they basically just cut it out entirely.\u201d<\/p>\n

The complaints against Avila go deeper than the removal of traditions at Marshall. According to Galves de Alvarenga, Avila uses intimidation tactics to run the school.<\/p>\n

Galves de Alvarenga, says that Avila utilizes the phrase: \u201cyou\u2019re in trouble\u201d towards children despite the word being banned from the SFUSD. SFUSD Instead encourages teachers to use words phrased like \u201ctake time to reflect\u201d or \u201ctime-out.\u201d<\/p>\n

One incident in particular that Galves de Alvarenga spoke with El Tecolote about involved Avila allegedly grabbing a child by the arm and telling him, \u201che was in trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA este ni\u00f1o en particular lo estremisio con los hombros lo toco y lo puso contra la pared,\u201d said Galves de Alvarenga.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this particular child, he shook him by the shoulders and put him against the wall,\u201d Galves de Alvarenga said.<\/p>\n

Avila\u2019s inability to communicate with the Marshall\u2019s Spanish-speaking community has also been a point of contention, which has resulted in the Latino community feeling excluded. According to Schooldigger.com, a website that helps parents evaluate schools, 85 percent of the Marshall community are Spanish speakers and because of that, PTA meetings have always been held in Spanish. However, because Avila is not bilingual, PTA meetings are now held in English, and Spanish speakers have to wear headsets to translate the meetings.<\/p>\n

Hoff attended a School Site Council and English Learner Advisory Committee meeting on Saturday, March 3, 2018, and witnessed the lack of effort that was put into the Latino community being able to understand the information that was being presented.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a presentation, none of which were translated in Spanish, even though there are a bunch of only Spanish speaking people who attended,\u201d said Hoff. \u201cThen he got a bunch of numbers wrong and his excuse was that he had just prepared it that morning . . . so [Avila has] a very kind of like blas\u00e9 attitude towards his responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Marshall Elementary teacher that El Tecolote spoke with, everybody who is being hired at Marshall elementary has to have Spanish\/English teaching credentials.<\/p>\n

Avila doesn\u2019t have such a credential, which has surprised many teachers and parents. According to Transparent California, as of 2017 Avila\u2019s annual salary was $103,285.<\/p>\n

Avila\u2019s lack of credentials is not only concerning for students, but for the Spanish-language educators as well. Teachers are evaluated every two years, and Avila sits in to evaluate the lessons for both English and Spanish classes. If Avila (who doesn\u2019t speak Spanish) gives a teacher a bad evaluation, the educator has the right to ask what changes need to be made to the lesson.<\/p>\n

This has created a problem for Spanish-language educators because not only does Avila not understand the lesson fully, but he does not have the capability to give Spanish-language educators instruction on how to teach.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is how you evaluate someone\u2019s career,\u201d said the educator from Marshall. \u201cIf you understand the gist of it and he says you are doing something wrong twice, that means you go into probation and you\u2019re one step away from losing your job, only because he got \u2018the gist\u2019 of your lesson, and that\u2019s what I resent. It\u2019s that someone\u2019s career is on the line because someone doesn\u2019t understand what I\u2019m teaching.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attempts to reach Avila for this story were unsuccessful. <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
