The Pacifica School District Board on March 11 adopted a modified layoff resolution eliminating the assistant principal at Ingrid B. Lacy Middle School (IBL) — the district's only comprehensive middle school — over the objections of 10 teachers, parents and staff who spoke for nearly 30 minutes urging the board to reverse course. The vote came on a night defined by fiscal distress: the board also certified its budget as "qualified," signaling it may not meet financial obligations, while authorizing $30 million in new construction bonds and a refinancing expected to save taxpayers $1 million.
