It's a long watch (about 90 minutes), but Mr. Waldeck did a great job of clarifying and facilitating the conversation between Doug Smith/Tammy Logan & Peter Evans/Francis La Poll. Thanks to Doug for posting the video of last night's session at http://www.lasdschools.org/District/News/6167-LASD-BCS-Sub-Committee-Meeting-Videos.html:
I was told by someone who attended the meeting last night that it was civil, and there weren't many disputes. My perspective after watching this is a bit different. At the 10k ft level, it sounded to me like LASD was saying "We need to come up with a solution that will work for the community as a whole (parents, singles, elderly, etc)" and BCS kept saying "We want some security that if we work with you, that you will not threaten the existence of our school". Both are eminently reasonable positions, but unfortunately one appears to be a bit more narcissistic than the other.
There was a bit of pulling hairs, but it sounds like the next meeting will be on the 16th. Be there, or be square... :)
