A woman with a vague complaint about Peoria Unified Special Education Coordinator Lori Garcia nearly derailed her appointment as Executive Director of Exceptional Student Services, March 9.
A woman named Laticia Allen spoke during the agenda item stating she received a letter from Garcia in January stating that Garcia would stop the school transportation of her daughter, a special education student, if she did not comply with Garcia’s request.
But Allen did not say what the request was. She handed out papers to the board members but did not provide any more details about her complaint, other than to say that the board should not appoint Garcia to her new job, which is a promotion.
