As the failures mounted—court losses, rescinded policies, wasted taxpayer dollars—Temecula Valley Unified trustees Jen Wiersma and Joseph Komrosky didn’t accept responsibility.

They attacked.

Not the policies or the process or the facts.

They attacked their colleagues.

With no evidence, no consultation, and no normal process, they pushed through a hastily copied CRT resolution on their first night in office. What followed was a year of chaos—lawsuits, court losses, legal fees, national embarrassment, and a fractured community.

While most school boards focus on budgets, classrooms, and student achievement, Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD) finds itself in the middle of a political spectacle. Trustees Jen Wiersma and Joseph Komrosky, elected on an ideological platform, prioritized culture war crusades over legal, fiscal, and educational responsibility. 

Wiersma’s role as a school board trustee is to improve student outcomes, ensure legal compliance, and be a responsible steward of public funds. Instead, she continues to wage a personal culture war rooted in misinformation and grievance politics.

May2025 TVUSD Good Governance Report Card

The Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD) Board of Trustees is set to convene on Tuesday, June 10, for a meeting heavy with policy revisions, budgetary maneuvers, and controversial legal agreements — continuing what many parents and community observers see as a politicized drift away from student-centered governance.

“What is harmful about the status quo should the preliminary injunction issue?” the court asked, pointing to the lack of evidence that CRT had ever been taught in the district. “Defendants’ appellate counsel conceded at oral argument that there is no evidence that any of the Resolution’s enumerated elements or concepts of CRT have ever been taught in District schools.”
