Before public comments he warned everyone in his own way that he was just putting up with the item. The community comment were heart felt and very will put. Actual involved members of the community john and his top down style of overly entitled white male leadership showed very little respect for. The board halfheartedly tried to pretend that they might consider change until Rubio decided to fudge the exact words for measure J. Board member Don might of drank the Kool Aid at some point too.

What matters is doing the best possible thing for the kids in EUSD. If that means one K-12 site, then we should do that, but if there are better reasons to serve more kids at more than one site, then we should do that. I'm impressed that the District might finally have an honest and open conversation about this, rather than force-feed a vision on the public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-58480845604343122802015-04-20T18:16:32.776-07:002015-04-20T18:16:32.776-07:00Thank you for your comments.

Brian has a clear opinion on keeping Yates open, while I want to make sure we serve all students to the best that we can. While I do think keeping AYE open is the best option, I am asking parents and residents to speak on Wednesday. I invite you to speak at the board meeting, as well. I ask this because I do agree with Brian, it has not been made clear in the past.<br />Christian Patzhttp://crpatz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-16834695616196266222015-04-20T15:24:55.051-07:002015-04-20T15:24:55.051-07:00The plans were presented more than 10 years ago? ...The plans were presented more than 10 years ago? Who presented the plans? And to whom were the plans presented to? Where were the decisions made?<br /><br />As you struggle to answer these questions, you'll realize the pickle the Emery School District is in. Because they cannot answer them the way you have....because illegal activity would be the tacit admission if they were to so answer these questions using your 10 year plus timeline. No, they have to work from a much, much shorter timeline but that shorter timeline is documented fully....and still the questions remain. The people of Emeryville have never gotten an answer about these questions because they reveal a dark and disturbing truth about this school district and its lack of transparency.

Now here comes Mr. Patz, who obviously has no grasp of the history of EUSD and why it is a two school district, to make major changes in the middle of the project.<br /><br />Go ahead, turn it into an even bigger boondoggle, I would expect nothing less from the short sighted citizens and policy makers of Emeryville.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-61177376050046261312015-04-20T09:25:39.291-07:002015-04-20T09:25:39.291-07:00This is why we elected him.
