Message From OVSD President Jack Souders
Huntington Beach, CA-PLEASE READ: FROM OVSD PRESIDENT JACK SOUDERS
Dear Ocean View Families,
We understand you may have received a campaign mailer with inaccurate information regarding the District’s instructional program. When it comes to our students and their curriculum we are committed to transparency and truth which is why we want to share the facts.
Ocean View School District’s instructional program, based on the California State Standards, is focused on reading, writing, math, social studies, and science. A foundational component of every grade level is age and developmentally-appropriate instruction, content, and texts. We are committed to preparing your child for their future endeavors.
Every June, Comprehensive Sexual Education is taught to eighth-grade students only. No other grade level participates in any sexual education program. Before the lessons are taught, parents are notified about the program, given an opportunity to review the five lessons, and informed of their right to opt their children out, should they choose. To ensure the appropriateness of the content for eighth graders, many interested parents and community members have reviewed the program over the years.
We thank you for your continued support of the Ocean View School District. We value you -- our parents/guardians who trust our staff and schools with the education of your children.
Sincerely,
Jack Souders, President
Board of Trustees
Ocean View School District

Mesa View Modernization Grand Re-opening and Ribbon Cutting
Huntington Beach, CA-The first day of school was the big day at Mesa View, the grand reopening and ribbon cutting of our last middle school project to be modernized using Measure R funding. The school looks absolutely fantastic with all new interiors, labs, classrooms, lunch area, office building, band room, locker rooms, fields, play areas, and more. We thank all who were involved in making this project a success. All 800 students came outside for the ribbon cutting on their first day of school too. Thanks to the teachers for making it possible. What a monumental event. The passage of Measure R and the work that has occurred to this work completed had been a true team effort. Thank you to all who voted for the bond, worked on it, and to the residents who are financing it, we appreciate you. These school modernizations have created improved neighborhoods and stand as a testament to our community’s investment in our children and future.

GCT Speaks Out To Protect HB's Students
Protecting Huntington Beach’s children is my number one priority. As a teacher and board member, I will work without cease to make sure students are protected and that educators are not put in jeopardy to be prosecuted or lose their jobs. The City of HB needs to follow state law and let teachers teach and parents parent without interference by the municipal government. Protecting students, always!
