Excellent General Counsel is needed at this time in the district. We are regaining local governance and we must negotiate with a new Superintendent.

The time is now for stable on board counsel!

Demand it!

I think Deb’s job was posted because she was initially appointed as “interim” when her predecessor left at the end of the 2006-07 school year. The posting is indicative of a permanent hiring process because she’s probably still technically interim though it’s been over a year, not necessarily her performance.

And no one from OUSD is likely to ever respond. For the umteenth time – personnel matters cannot be discussed publicly. We may never know what really happens in these instances. And that’s the way it goes.

Katy -

thanks for continuing to inquire about this situation. I believe that Mr. White has been mistreated. The least the administration could do is acknowledge their error. I have written letters to ask if people are monitoring the situation to a few people on the school board and to Sheila Jordan, but no one has responded.

What else is new? It’s the good people who are made to suffer in Oakland. I’m surprised he has taken it for so long.
