I would highly recommend that if anyone in the MDUSD is trying to intimidate or bully you that you:

#1 File a complaint with the Commission on Teacher Credentialing,
http://www.ctc.ca.gov/educator-discipline/public.html
for anyone holding a credential.

For Rolen, you need to file a complaint with the State Bar,
http://www.calbar.ca.gov/Attorneys/LawyerRegulation/FilingaComplaint.aspx

#2 File a complaint to the CCC Grand Jury,
http://www.cc-courts.org/_data/n_0003/resources/live/grandJuryComplaint.pdf

#3 File a Uniform Complaint with the MDUSD and appeal it to the State Dpt of Ed if the MDUSD blows it off in any way,
http://www.mdusd.org/personnel/Documents/Uniform%20Complaint%20Procedures.pdf

#4 Let Theresa know so she can get it into the public domain through this blog or another article/editorial on the CCC Times.

At Dr J #: two other bullies are Rolen and b. Richards. Hansen is not the only victim-every public member in this district is a victim and that’s why Hansen is the target, because she truly is attempting to represent her constituents. Every employee is being bullied because as Anon #17 stated – it starts at the top.

How fascinating what happens when a public figure gets caught lying about his college degree. I wonder if this type of thing could hit “close to home” ?

I have received word that an elementary principal has asked her school community not to acknowledge Teacher Appreciation Week with any mementos for teachers. I haven’t yet confirmed this, but the parent who sent the information appears to be outraged.

Cheryl Hansen’s Agenda Items intentionally left off AGAIN ! Pure bullying by Whitmarsh, Eberhart and Lawrence ! Its pretty clear why Lawrence wanted this bogus “study session” on the budget on May 7 — Linda Mayo is down in Anaheim. Leads one to question who all is involved in the bullying — does it extend beyond Whitmarsh, Eberhart and Lawrence ? http://esbpublic.mdusd.k12.ca.us/public_agendaview.aspx?mtgId=342&CS=No

TH#16-
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
To Jim’s point, niether should the adults. Gary Eberhart purposely refuses to 2nd a motion by Cheryl Hansen even if it is a motion he would have made himself. It is childish bullying and pettiness from those we look to to lead this District, it is shameful. Since 2008 bullying appears to be part of the MDUSD culture. We should be outraged when a Principal behaves in that manner toward a child, but we should not be surprised. It starts at the top.

You are talking about adults allegedly bullying adults.
But some of the accounts I’m hearing about Sun Terrace involve the principal allegedly denying food to children, snatching hats off their heads and referring to one kindergartner as a “bad, bad girl” in front of the student and her classmates.
Should principals be allowed to behave this way toward students?

Could someone please explain when the normal threats and intimidation practiced on a daily basis by the MDUSD leadership finally rise to the level of “bullying”? If the anti-bullying rhetoric is suddenly going to be applied to the adults in the system, then I suggest an immediate upgrade to the capacity of Ms. Stuckey-Smith’s voicemail and email in box.

As far as I’m concerned, much of the CVCHS episode was characterized by bullying — of the teachers, the families in the feeder pattern, the principals who were forced to testify in public when they had no earthly reason to do so, etc. Heck, the whole DISTRICT was bullied with the supposed “revenue loss” that was never substantiated. Go to almost any board meeting and watch Cheryl Hansen get bullied, with words as well as with the “the silent treatment”. The Measure C “Oversight” Committee seems to enjoy bullying Alice and any other potential speakers of truth to power. (And this is just what we see in public. As we all know, bullies often save their worst intimidation for private encounters, with no witnesses.) We’re just so used to it that it has become “the new normal”.

Let’s face it: these guys play rough. They feel entitled to their monopoly perquisites, and they can turn nasty with anyone who thinks that at least a little bit of the money and power to educate our children ought to reside elsewhere.
