SUPERINTENDENT ON ALLEGATIONS 
CONCERNING CESAR CHAVEZ 
We are deeply troubled by the recent allegations concerning César Chávez. In light of 
these developments, and out of respect for our community, we are adapting planned 
activities to honor the collective work for civil rights rather than the individual. 
The information shared by Dolores Huerta and other survivors is a painful reminder 
of our responsibility as educators to uphold the safety, dignity, and well-being of every 
student and staff member. Our role extends beyond academics. As an educational com-
munity, we must ensure that every student feels safe in our schools and knows that there 
are trusted adults who will listen, support, and protect them. 
We continue to honor the enduring contributions of the United Farm Workers of Amer-
ica and the courageous leadership of Dolores Huerta in elevating voices that had long 
gone un-heard. At the same time, we recognize that these allegations are especially dif-
ficult for many Latinos who have long viewed César Chávez as a symbol of justice and 
advocacy. 
Distinguishing between the impact of a movement and the actions of the individual can 
be painful, but it is necessary. We remain committed to approaching this moment with 
care, integrity, and a focus on the values that guide our district. 
The following resources are also available to students, staff, and families:
• PUSD’s Student Wellness and Support Services (SWSS) is here to help. PUSD also 
partners with Daybreak Health and Hazel Health to provide support for students, staff, 
and families.
