SCUSD Statement on Resignation of Dr. Elysse Versher
Sacramento, CA - The Sacramento City
Unified School District has received notification that Dr. Elysse
Versher intends to resign from her position as Vice Principal at
West Campus High.
Dr. Versher made complaints of racist acts directed toward her
during her employment and the District immediately initiated an
investigation into those complaints. That investigation is
nearly complete. At this point, out of respect to Dr.
Versher and the process, the District will not have further
comment until the investigator’s final report is issued. We
expect that will happen soon.
We appreciate Dr. Versher’s service to the students of our
District.
The Sacramento City Unified School District is committed to
providing an environment that is free of racism and harassment
for students and staff. We have taken steps to address
racism on campuses, including anti-racism training for
staff. Sac City will not tolerate racist
behaviors and we will continue striving to achieve
racial justice.
