My name is Rosie Higuera, I ran against Mike Blessing for Oceanside Trustee in 2024. The Oceanside Teacher’s Association and California Teacher’s Association donated $70,000 to defeat me and Emily Wichmann. They also used tax dollars to send out a half page mailer, full color, 2 sided praising the 5 Board Members who consistently vote 5-0 to the detriment of students and families, they sent this out right before elections. The flyer highlighting all of the Board’s accomplishments, failing to mention the poor grades (30’s & 40’s), closure of 5 schools, weaponization of those who hold truth to power. They highlighted bonds as well. They also violated CA Mass Mailings Prohibitions, the BOE broke the law! They also broke AB 1234 – political ethics violation. This ROGUE Board should not be in power, they are dangerous and above the law.
