Some parents and students say that Superintendent Marian Kim Phelps harassed and threatened students she believed didn't clap enough for her daughter. Phelps denies that, and her daughter says the issue wasn't applause but a pattern of bullying.

Poway Unified School District trustees are seeking an independent investigation into concerns about the Del Norte High School softball program, following accusations that the district's top administrator abused her power.

Instead, she said, it was that she had been “bullied, publicly humiliated and targeted” before and during the event. The prevailing attitude was that “girls will be girls,” she said. Phelps said the fact that she was bullied was validated in the investigation process. “My mom never threatened any students,” Phelps said. “My mom loves kids. Yes, I am the superintendent’s daughter, but I am also a student who deserves kindness. Everyone needs to move on and to repair what has already been damaged.
