Please note that I have added a new blog post, in which the superintendent revealed the dates and times of future (and past) feeder pattern meetings: http://bit.ly/QsE5eK

This didn’t qualify for the board action progress report because it didn’t cost enough money and it is related to food service.
I wonder if this shows up on the Bond Oversight Committee reports.
With the accelerated Measure C timeline (thanks to the property tax rate increase), perhaps the district will accomplish this in five years instead of seven — after installing field lights at YVHS.

@G # 111 – exactly. This could have been just one of those “feel good” endings the district could publicize – but 15 months later and access to free fresh water in at least one school out of the 10 listed appears to still be a need to be filled instead of a reality required by law.

Perhaps that’s why it’s in the staff lounge. Is there a TV in there?

It is for items like fresh clean drinking water laws, and the district’s complience—or NONcomplience that the “Board Action Progress Report” was intended.

The board votes to DO something, considers its job ‘done’ and drops the ball. Then the staff just lets it die for lack of follow-up! Current board ‘leadership’ (ha-ha) is a joke!

Please note that I have added an Oct. 11 update to this post to alert parents in the Northgate feeder pattern that their superintendent meeting is tonight at 7 p.m. in the Northgate HS staff lounge.
No word yet on when and where the planned YVHS feeder pattern meeting will take place next week.

Yes, many parent groups are raising funds to fill some of the gaps at their schools. Claiming that the “rich” schools are getting more can easily be countered with all the extras the Title 1 schools get. I am tired of all the categorical funding.

I’m sick and tired of the Sacramento pols always blackmailing taxpayers by threatening to cut teachers, firefighter, and police funding. How about cutting the freeloaders who constantly eat from the public trough.They tax us to death and want to tax us some more. Jerry Brown is an idiot.

I am having such a hard time with prop 30 and the statement of 6% paycut for teachers. What about the kids. Is it about the kids or the adults? 11 less days of school would be criminal.
