By now, Temecula Valley Unified School District families have come to expect all flash, no substance from Board Members Jen Wiersma and Joe Komrosky. But their latest batch of resolutions makes one thing clearer than ever: Wiersma and Komrosky are more interested in fueling a culture war than preparing students for the real world.

When Jen Wiersma and Joseph Komrosky ran for the Temecula Valley Unified School Board, they wrapped themselves in the language of conservatism: limited government, parental rights, fiscal responsibility, and traditional values.

But once in office, their actions told a different story.

Their tenure has been marked not by thoughtful stewardship or principled governance — but by impulsive decisions, reckless spending, disregard for the rule of law, and a total failure to deliver results for students.

As the failures mounted—court losses, rescinded policies, wasted taxpayer dollars—Temecula Valley Unified trustees Jen Wiersma and Joseph Komrosky didn’t accept responsibility.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