		<description><![CDATA[Supt Lawrence, Board President Whitmarsh and Trustee Eberhart - you all have children in schools in this disrtict. If your children attended this school, how long would you let this continue?

 How long would it take; how many times would the public, district parents, teachers and students of &quot;your&quot; school need to complain- in public no less - before the situation is addressed and the restrooms were unlocked? 

Where is your outrage? Where is your compassion? Are you WAITING for &quot;someone&quot; to file an &quot;official&quot; complaint? How can you NOT resolve this?  

This is beyond rediculous after how many weeks since the first mention of ALL but ONE restroom locked at Mount - it&#039;s a reflection on YOU and what you really care about in this district.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read the article about the restrooms. I have a Sr at Freedom High School in Oakley. If she ever told me that this situation occured at her High School, I would remove her imnmedietly and sue the school district and Principal for violating my daughter. Where are these parents? They need to stand up and have this School Administration treat their children with dignity. The more we allow our children to be treated like animnals, the worse is the example we set. These are our FUTURE!!!! OPEN THOSE RESTROOMS IMMEDIETLY AND GET RID OF THAT PRINCIPAL!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I absolutely agree with Dr J that Dennler was put into a &quot;stacked&quot; group of passive, probably mostly newer teachers.

Steven Lawrence (and Sue Brothers too) were noted for their constant manipulations of meetings, working groups, interview panels, etc in both West Sac and Roseville together.

I don&#039;t think anyone here will argue that Eberhart, Whitmarsh, Rolen and others running the ship onto the rocks here are also very manipulative by nature.

Another example of this pervasive manipulation was their Saturday&#039;s &quot;Board Governance&quot; selection of a facilitator who ripped into Cheryl Hansen anytime she wanted to talk about the MDUSD leadership&#039;s myriad problems and treated the other board members with kid&#039;s gloves.

This was probably due to the fact that at the last board retreat that facilitator Kirk Berger stressed openess, honesty, civility and strategic planning for the board. So there was no way that Berger was going to be hired again by this board majority.

I don&#039;t agree however that Mount should try another Vote of No Confidence. The only way to get the respect and attention they deserve is to start a teacher-trigger conversion which should be easy as they can follow the CVCHS blueprint.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dennler said she stayed for the entire time, but remained with the same group.

Here&#039;s what she said: &quot;I was very impressed by the administrators and the teachers and their desire to make it work. I didn&#039;t hear a negative word out of any teachers&#039; mouths and the administrators were so positive. I was hopeful that there was a real opportunity for listening.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@TH #7

It&#039;s important to know if Mrs. Dennler stayed for the entire group session or only part.  What part of the session did she attend (1st 5 min? Middle? Entire session?)? Did she check in with any of the other group sessions? 

She says she didn&#039;t hear any negative comments from the teachers; did she hear any positive comments from them while she was there or were  administrators the only voices heard in the group? 

How was the group she observed &quot;very positive&quot;?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MDHS Teacher: I spoke to Trustee Lynne Dennler about the Monday meetings yesterday, during a break in the governance workshop. She said the group she observed was very positive and that the administrators really seemed to be listening. No teachers said anything negative, she said.
Have you or others who are dissatisfied spoken to Dennler about your concerns?]]></description>
