Jackson – The Amador County School District board and Superintendent Dick Glock were lambasted Wednesday for allegedly failing to investigate hate crimes and the harassment against Justin Zysman, a Jewish student at Amador High School. Barry Broad, speaking on behalf of the Jewish Community Relations Council for the Sacramento region, and a crowd of angry parents crowded the conference room at the Amador County Unified School District building to address the “serious situation this board is in now.” Justin Zysman also spoke before the board and broke down in tears when discussing an incident in which the words “Burn Jew, burn” were etched into his locker. One parent said those words were left there for 13 months and a swastika was carved into Zysman’s desk. Before the meeting, the board was served with a lawsuit by attorney Etan Rosen alleging wrongdoing against Zysman, although the details of that lawsuit could not be viewed by TSPN at the time this story was written. Glock and ACUSD board president Mary Walser have declined to comment. The board did discuss the possibility of litigation in the closed session portion of the meeting. Anne Baird, a representative of Assemblywoman Alyson Huber, was also present at the meeting. She said that she will report back to Huber and they will be monitoring the situation. TSPN will have more information on this issue as it develops. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
