In this episode, we delve into the historical and ongoing marginalization of Chicano voices within the governance of the Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD). We explore how power dynamics have been used to maintain a Eurocentric agenda, often sidelining the democratic representation of the predominantly Chicano student body.
