@CVHS Mom, Sue Brothers will NOT commit to being at CVHS for FIVE years. She has a secret deal with Lawrence to become the next Director of SASS Secondary, and then to become an Asst Supt, all within two years. Mark my words.

Oh and Gensberger…. Ever try to follow his blog? Wow. And how he can manage a local paper while living in Idaho is a bit of a mystery, does anyone read it? But I have noticed he is one of Gary’s biggest butt kissers even though he is also very critical of education in general.

Gary can be very manipulative. I would guess Gary does not know M…Mayor personally (as in real friendship) but he does likely know who he is, so maybe Gary holds that as a threat.

I often wonder why the Times doesn’t do an expose on the mayor.

Say What @18: It isn’t the entire Board. He is pretty tight with Eberhart personally, as is his blog-buddy Gensburger.

Thanks Theresa, though as I mentioned on the other thread, she did call our attention to 11 drug suspensions, do you know how that compares to other schools?

I spoke to Brothers on Friday and she said she is very happy as a site administrator.
She also said she is tackling the dress code issue and that there are no student problems.
Her main academic focus is to bring up math proficiency. She said a new campus advisory committee will meet Tuesday to discuss the academic plans.
If she were there for more than one year, she said she would focus on restructuring the six-period day to allow for more rigorous classes, so students could fulfill A-G U.C. requirements, while also participating in band, student government and other valuable activities.
She said she has heard no complaints from parents about her management style.

So…. Who else thinks the mayor of clay cord must have made a deal with the MDUSD board? Other than in comments, which are heavily moderated and restricted, there is really none of the negative ( and in this case factual) stories as in the past. Thank you theresa for allowing this forum.

Doctor J, while I normally enjoy your rants. You are wrong about brothers. Most I have talked to like her style very much. She has brought positive change on campus. What have you heard in your capacity that she is not doj g a good job? I’m curious, because as a parent I only wish they’d gotten someone like her LONG ago!

@Mark W. #12 BRAVO
@Jim #13 Kudos
@Theresa #14 Thanks for filling in the details.
@G #15 Spot on.
@Cheryl. Nice try to get more dialog but in the end voting for the conditions was non sensical.
@Gary, a chink in your armour when you gave him two minutes, but it was a farce and everyone knew it.
@Sherry & Linda M: gutless
@Lynne D: they played you like a fiddle. Stand up for what is right.

Mark Weinmann: OK, maybe you’re a “keeper”.

Yes Gary, the successful schools in the district are successful due to parents, independent thinking teachers and their involvement in the education of their children. NO credit goes to you or your Ego-centric despotism. If they waited for you to make sound decisions for them they would be just like the rest of your mediocre and failing schools.

Your “approval with conditions” is in essence a denial of the application. I hope the Charter treats this as a “denial” and appeals straight up the chain.

Thank you though for your oppressive list of conditions based on the usual brand of unsound District legal counsel. You have created a precedent setting framework showing more schools how to best get away from your mismanagement.

Ms Mayo and Ms Dennler: Due diligence would have meant agreeing to Ms Hansen’s well considered request to go into a study session before voting, and that is exactly what you should have done. The final speaker asked you to take that advice and come back at another meeting date. Were you even listening–or have you just toed the line and held onto shirttails for so long you can no longer do quick-think on your own?

Whitmarsh: So, you had a “lot” of people tell you they didn’t like the idea, huh? Was that really the best excuse you could come up with? I’m holding back the expletives, you sad foot-stomping envy-laden little Anon-girl.
