Julie Hupp, president of the Rocklin Unified School District, spoke at a meeting of educators in March 2022 where she called for an increase in “faith-based” union representatives and disparaged the California Teachers Association.

The audio recording was leaked by the progressive group Voices of Placer County on Sunday. A caption for the video said that the comments were made in March 2023. Hupp confirmed that she was the one speaking but said the meeting took place in March 2022. She also said the recording was not authorized.

Hupp is also president of the Loomis Teachers Association and an elementary school teacher at Loomis Grammar School.

The 12-minute audio clip begins with Hupp asking if anyone at the meeting felt that the CTA, which represents more than 310,000 California teachers, “is a force for good.”

Silence follows.
