Grossmont School Board Trustee Scott Eckert has failed our students and our community.
Parents in La Mesa, Grossmont, and the Casa de Oro-Mt. Helix areas have lost faith in Scott Eckert. Eckert promised to serve local students, parents, and teachers on the Grossmont Union High School District (GUHSD) Board of Trustees.
Unfortunately, Eckert’s board decisions have gutted local public schools:
- Eckert eliminated every librarian position in the school district.
- Eckert diverted taxpayer dollars to a man investigated for “immoral conduct” on a school campus.
- Eckert voted to extend GUHSD payments to a law firm owned by one of his major campaign donors, raising conflict-of-interest concerns.
The San Diego Union-Tribune has also reported that Scott Eckert benefited from fake “ghost” candidates that drew votes away from his political opponent in the 2024 election.
It’s time to remove Eckert from office! The effort to recall Eckert has widespread community support, including an official endorsement from the Grossmont Education Association, which represents over 950 professional educators at nine comprehensive high schools and other programs in East County.
