Good morning, Stockton.
👋 Amid several changes at City Hall, including the ousting of Stockton’s city manager and appointment of an interim with no city government experience, Mayor Christina Fugazi has continued in her pre-election position as a vice principal at Stagg High School along with her mayoral duties, a Stockton Unified School District spokesperson confirmed Tuesday.
Under Stockton’s charter — the city’s governing document — the mayor must “devote his or her full time” to the job. But no definition of what counts as full-time for the mayor is spelled out.
For the full breakdown of how Fugazi’s position might impact her mayoral responsibilities, check out Aaron Leathley’s story below.
As always, thank you for your support.
