Oxnard Elementary School District

In 1974, the Oxnard school board lost a court case, Soria v. Oxnard, which aimed at addressing decades of segregationist practices in Oxnard schools. Following the court order, integration strategies including busing were implemented to address racial imbalances in schools. In 2019, the use of glyphosate-based weed-killing products at the schools was banned by the board. Concerns have been raised about the mounting litigation over the safety of glyphosate and conflicting research findings on the risk of cancer upon exposure to the product.^[3] In 2018 a California jury awarded significant damages to a groundskeeper who argued that Monsanto provided inadequate warnings of cancer risks posed by the herbicides.^[4]
