Parents and teachers interested in doing what’s best for students are using whatever leverage they can to do so — including standing up to oppose the school bureaucratic machine. This is a positive trend for California schools:

Sue Brothers did not say anything about taking action against teachers who support the charter.
She said she wants to hold teachers accountable for educating students during the year that she is at the school

I hope sue reads this. If she thinks for one second that she will take any action against a teacher that supports the Charter she is sadly going to have to deal with the 2000 supporters. I will make her little minion head spin with work. I would hope that she is an adult and would never do this.

So Sue Brothers is going to start “holding teachers accountable…”!

Well watch out teachers at CVHS in support of the Charter.

Because when the Charter finally gets approval, Sue will go fully negative and its going to get ugly.

The people in West Sac who told me about how former pre-school director Sue Brothers set up a program for putting 1-6th grade elementary students AT THE CONTINUATION HS there wanted me to post another unpleasant fact about Sue.

It seems that Sue and her minions in West Sac were quite the sadistic hatchet people there.

In fact, they had a proclivity for going after staff they didn’t like who were struggling with serious illnesses like cancer and MS.

I say this because one teacher who had MS and had to fight just to get ADA grab bars installed in the bathroom ending up dying from MS complications while serving in West Sac.

Well another one of Sue’s victims there has also just recently passed away. It seems that a wonderful counselor at the continuation school who was in remission for cancer decided to oppose Sue when she put the elementary program in there.

Sue hired a hatchet-person of a principal who viciously went after the counselor and Sue herself personally gave the counselor a mentally-ill and sadistic negative job evaluation.

In any case, the counselor then had a re-occurence of cancer under the duress that was put upon her and was been in declining health ever since. Now this victim has also just passed away.

There were other cases of similar abuse too.
Sue Brothers, buddy of Stevie Lawrence at her finest.

Just TEACH: “Stuffing envelopes sure isn’t going to do it!” I disagree.

I would give extra credit and call it a lesson in “Employing the Masses to Effect Change Through Political Strategies”.

Sue Brothers understands political strategy quite well.

CVHS Principal Sue Brothers told the school’s Parent Advisory Council that she is holding teachers accountable for educating students.
She encouraged parents who were not satisfied to contact her.

You can have your charter or not…but this year can the proponents of the charter who teach at CVHS TEACH! Don’t give my kid pizza to stuff envelopes and charter school mailings in your class when she is supposed to be learning….or show movies because you need to work on your charter documentation. Charter or not TEACH! We are not keeping our best and brightest at home and we expect you to TEACH this year. What is going to be the evaluation system for teachers in the charter…??? I don’t care one iota if it becomes a charter or not…what will the big difference be? Why do you think our Juniors did so poorly on the testing last year? Ah hem….they cannot teach themselves…you can blame the kids all you want but they will still be coming charter or not so what strategies and curriculum will be in place to prepare them for college that is not in place now? Stuffing envelopes sure isn’t going to do it!

Attempts to reach out to MDUSD don’t always work. The Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council called a community meeting to address the number of chronically low-performing schools, and Lawrence attended but no board members (before the last election). The room was full with families. Lawrence told the parents to volunteer, get a TB test, go to Dent Center and pay to be fingerprinted. That led to a collection being passed to help parents pay for fingerprinting. What has happened since then?
