I have also heard a complaint alleging that no inside or outside search was done to fill the Valley View MS principal position.
I have not yet confirmed this. However, the board gave Superintendent Steven Lawrence the authority to fill that position without its approval over the summer.
I’m not sure if the district is required to post positions and allow other interested candidates to apply.

In Brother’s recent comments as Theresa reported, she stated that 1) she thought the Charter would be approved. 2) if she had three years she could turn the school around.
3) said she’s not going to let this year go to waste. “I’m here till June 30…”.

@23 Rumors are now flying around the District that Denise Rugani’s postition as SASS Secondary Director is now being replaced on a just a temporary basis for the rest of the school year until Sue Brothers is available to take it. She will be replaced by a part time retired Secondary Director from a neighboring distirct and a consultant at about $120 per hour — certainly not a cost cutting move. And certainly a move to save the place for SB as I predicted long ago. I have never seen SB commit in writing to be the CVHS principal for five years.

This was the first Clayton Valley Charter school meeting that I’ve attended and I can tell you I was overwhelmingly impressed by the dedication of the faculty, parents, and students. They have begun an amazing movement that has the potential to drastically improve the public school system in California.

I grew up in Clayton, attended DLS and now live in Concord. I have never considered sending my kids to public school…until now.

Ask the troops in Roseville and West Sac about Sue Brother’s (and Stevie Lawrence’s) “commitments” and you will get rolling on the floor laughter. Lawrence and Sue both said they were “committed” to staying in West Sac for the ‘long haul”.

Their ONLY goal here is to kill the charter. They will say ANYTHING to try and get people to abandon it.

Meanwhile as they focus on the charter, the entire MDUSD is suffering from the rapidly growing disasters of their incompetence and dishonesty like the imminent loss of 15 MILLION from the SIG debacle.

DoctorJ I know this is just pro charter propaganda you are posting to sway the parents away from Sue Brothers. Don’t get use to her because she is leaving. She has committed 5 years if the school dosen’t go charter, thats a fact.

@WAS, SB is not going to stay at CVHS — why do you think they haven’t replaced Denise Rugani in her Director of Secondary in SASS ? SB is just a flash in the pan, will hold a “director” job until Rose Lock is forced out, and then will become the Asst Supt which she was promised by Lawrence. Neither of them have denied it. Mark my words.

Wait a Minute, I am for the charter school, I just want change now! I think rushing this or copying what already exists means the school will go backward before it moves forward.Sue Brothers is moving the school forward now into new territory and I would like to give her a chance to clean things up.Please don’t dismiss my post as a district post. You are a Charter supporter and I hope you and your people are willing to work with different view points in reguard to the school and education. Don’t turn into the district you long to leave.

You know, all these repeated comments by Wait A Second, Former CV Mom, Curious, Humor me, and many others on the other threads all display signs of a distinct pattern.

They either stoutly defend the MDUSD or condescendingly (yes WAS, your “housewives” comment is condescending of the very parents of CVHS)
suggest the Charter effort should either give up or “wait” another year or meet the pages of conditions put upon it by the district. Many of them also sing the praises of Sue Brothers and what she is doing at CVHS, etc, etc, etc.

It is pretty clear to me that these many posts under different screen names represent an orchestrated effort by the MDUSD “Leadership” (or their minions) to defend themselves against the many rapidly proliferating and self-induced scandals they find themselves in.

They also represent a huge Dirty-Tricks campaign (that even the Nixon campaign would have been proud of) to defeat/co-opt the Charter as it has the most potential to dethrone them.

In fact, the whole approval with conditions/wait until February is in and itself a dirty tricks legal strategy to run the charter out of money and time and I’m sure it was conceived by by—Greg Rolen along with Lawrence, Brothers, Eberhart, Whitmarsh and Mayo.

This is really a battle to the political death between the two sides. I hope for the sake of the children of the MDUSD and the taxpayers that it ends in the political/professional demise of the above referenced people since they have already done incalculable damage to the children and taxpayers of the MDUSD.

I hope the good people of the MDUSD are making complaints to the Grand Jury, DA, Federal Prosecutor, Representative George Miller, Senators Feinstein/Boxer and Ca State Senator and Representative to investigate the considerable corruption and mismanagement, and mis-use of power by the MDUSD’s so called “leaders”.

Some of those “housewifes” have doctorates.
