Instead of investigating they asked the accused if he was guilty, and when he said 'No', they said 'Good enough for us!'. That's your school board, and you keep re-electing the same jabronis year after year.<br /><br />Dear god I hope if I'm the victim of heinous crime and the perp goes on trial that NONE of these people are on the jury.<br /><br />A nice idea would be if Mr. Donahue, or Mr. Webber snagged a spot on that school board and used the tattler as a clearing house for board business.<br />Man, that would put the school administrations panties in a wad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-22127906683255801182012-03-15T08:28:42.637-07:002012-03-15T08:28:42.637-07:00let's start that audit on revenues and itemize...let's start that audit on revenues and itemized expenditures from measure a NOW.shirley enomotonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-75648185583644257052012-03-15T03:31:25.031-07:002012-03-15T03:31:25.031-07:00The EUSD Board has been the superintendent's b...The EUSD Board has been the superintendent's board for years. They have not felt obligated to take care of their charge (students, parents, teachers) since they were seated. They cower and listen to the district solely. Lindo doesn't fit in our community. Let's cut our loses and move on! It is time to recall board members. They are incapable of objectively doing their job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-47100428584090547302012-03-14T15:15:21.285-07:002012-03-14T15:15:21.285-07:00So ... let me understand this ... communication be...So ... let me understand this ... communication between the Board of Trustees (the official name of the school board) and its constituency (the parents) is SO POOR that they have provided NO press releases or information to parents about how the lay off procedure works? Made NO ALLOWANCE for the type of public participation that would follow the bomb they dropped at the last public meeting?<br /><br />Then MADE THE PARENTS WAIT an hour before getting started (executive sessions can easily be moved to the time slot FOLLOWING the public session if desired, or begun, then recessed, then started again after the public session).<br /><br />THIS IS CLEARLY a school board that has lost touch with the parents.<br /><br />I refuse to believe that they deliberately keep the PTO and parents in the dark. But I would like to see them reach out to parents by making more information available.<br /><br />And Brian, it's not like none of us were asking them what was going on with the bonds, the 3 campuses, the plans to close Anna Yates over the past 6 months (or a year, in the case of Brian Carver).<br /><br />Their transparency is abysmal. They need to communicate a whole heck of a lot better. Get parents involved in bake sales to raise money for school supplies, but try to slide big stuff like closing down Anna Yates and firing teachers under the table. Yuck. What kind of "partnership" is that?Michael Webberhttp://www.conditionemeryville.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
