Ms. Brunner,
so you have a website for people to view? You missed an “interesting” meeting. Hope your orientation and your daughter’s new challenges are nothing but positive. I look forward to watching/hearing you speak at the board meeting(s), your thinking and viewpoints are very stimulating.

I am running for HUSD School Board and would like to apologize for missing the first HUSD Board Meeting for the 2010/2011 school year.
My husband and I are presemtly attending paremt orientation and getting our daughter, Colleen, who just graduated from Hayward High School, Jume 2010, settled at St John’s University im New York. She received am Academic Scholarship in Business.
I am running for HUSD School Board because I believe all students in HUSD should have the same educational opportunities as my children. I do sincerely believe in education as the great equalizer in life; and that each individual gets out of an education what they put into it.

To K. Rocchio,

Sorry you couldn/t see the meeting. I have sent an inquiry to the First Amendment Coalition asking if School Boards may “bundle” action items, thus avoiding public comment, board discussion and deliberation on any individual item in the bundle. Hopefully I will get a response from them Monday or Tuesday.

Have a good weekend.

It appears they no longer replay the HUSD Board Meetings on the Thursday afternoon following the Board Meetings. I will wait until the edited version is posted on-line.

A sniper is sniping at me but the shots are too wide fot her to ever improve. Fortunately, there is no injury when considering the source.

Question: Which trustees went to Florida in attempt to ‘vet’ Kohl?

To Qodrn:

You are exactly right, the board is constatntly reminded by the district office that there job is not to micromanage the day to day affairs of the district. They are told the job of the board is to make policy that benefits students and to leave the management of the district to the trained professionals.

So, the superintendents and their business directors are ultimately responsible for all expenditures in HUSD. It is and was their job to make sure that the board was being paid only what the law provided.

I don’t know if there is any recourse against those administrators and superintendents but it would sure be nice to find out.

To K. Rocchio:
Would love to hear your take on the events of last night regarding the ASES grant in particular, but also the costs of legal fees for the year.

Sometimes I can’t quite follow, but maybe the afore mentioned superintendents and other employees should share in the reimbursing of the district if it was there job to know what is going on.

MR. KYLE:

No sleuthing on my part just the law, which by the way has been in the Education Codes for MANY years. Of course it is just like you to try to focus on me rather than the big picture.

The ultimate responsibility rests on the shoulders of past superintendents, Kohl, Totter, Duran(#1) Vigil, Duran(2) and their respective business directors and the fiscal advisors (time 1 and presently). It is their abusolute responsibility to monitor and protect the funds that are provided for our students. For your information it is their, in legal jargon, FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY AS EMPLOYEES OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL. Clearly they thought over compensation for board members was something that nobody cared about or they had bigger fish to fry. In either case THE TRUTH IS THEIR NEGLIGENCE ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN.

Again Mr. Kile, get the spelling of my name correct, both first and last, and I will honor you with doing the same.

AGAIN MR. KYLE, STOP NAMING ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS, YOU HAVE NEITHER MY PERMISSION OR THEIRS.

Re: The Lady from the Adult School; she read a letter under items from the community. The last time I checked comments need not relate to any agenda item to be spoken. But perhaps you have a different interpretation of it. However, I do recall a number of times when you addressed the board under this part of the agenda when nothing you had to say pertained to any part of the meeting. Are the rules different for you?

Enough sniping Mr. Kyle; have a good break, enjoy your time with your wife.
