Murrieta Valley Unified School District

Rock San Angelo

Keri Baldridge was extremely professional and patient with me and all of my questions.

Taught at VMHS for 14 years. During that time I was told multiple times to simply increase a student's grade so they could pass, usually for minority students. Admin constantly pressured me and others to pass low performers to keep our graduation numbers up. When I took a stand and refused to be a part of their fraud I was targeted and singled out. Any student claims against me were taken as absolute fact. Admin routinely gave me grading directives that were applied to no other teachers. I was told flat out if I did not pass all my seniors I would no longer teach seniors. Admin at the district office supports these thug tactics 100% and simply makes up rules as they go along to make themselves look good. The kids were great but teachers work in a constant state of fear of being targeted as well if they do not look the other way at admin shennanigans. Admin also uses abbreviated one-day online APEX classes to shuffle through seniors who failed classes needed for graduation. Sad.

This review pertains to the MVUSD office staff. Keri Baldridge, the HR nightmare, reluctantly helped me prepare to work for the district. As there is no other way to apply to teach in this area, I had no other choice than to work with her. After filling out applications and paperwork, the State was unable to process my information - an oversight by her. She *clearly* does not like working with the public as evidence by her attitude (you'll find this out immediately when you talk with her), and as a result will not back you up or help you when you have issues. Just like any other State agency, she will give you the runaround when you need support. Seeing as how this is an unavoidable process in working for this district, just know that you wont receive support, and the only thing you can expect from this office is attitude. We can do a lot better. Good luck!
