The San Ysidro Elementary School District is a public school district based in San Diego County, California, United States. It includes five elementary schools, one middle school, and several preschools in the San Ysidro community in San Diego, California as well as two elementary schools elsewhere in San Diego.[1]

In the 2012-2013 school year there was conflict between the San Ysidro Teachers association and the school board. Teachers accuse the school board of favoritism toward the assistant superintendent, Jason Romero, because his mother sits on the school board. The connection became controversial when she voted to give her son a $10,000 raise.[2] Teachers also oppose a proposal to give the school board the final say over teacher grievances, which amounts to a review of actions by Romero. As of February 2013 no contract had been agreed to, and teachers were picketing outside some schools.[3]

An investigation is currently under way over a $2,500 cash payment, given in 2010 to school superintendent Manuel Paul from a contractor with business pending before the district. Paul says the money was intended for the election campaigns of school board members.[4] Paul and fourteen other people were indicted January 15, 2013 on corruption charges. On April 4, 2013 the school board voted 3-2 to accept Paul's resignation.[5]
