Subject: tonight's kangaroo court Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:37:52 -0800 From: David Roode <droode@netwiz.net> To: trustees@lasdschools.org
Michelle Sturiale suggested that I email you my opinion about your alleged hearing tonight regarding purported problems with the Bullis Prop 39 facilities this year. My main problem with your actions concerns your collective dishonesty in this so called usage agreement. First you refuse to negotiate it and then you act as if you had. In the slides for your meeting tonight I see a totally bogus timeline regarding your steps in preparing the usage agreement. Most importantly, in one step you hold out that you believe that the Bullis June lawsuit was finally ruled upon. What was ruled upon was just a motion for a peremptory writ which would have obviated the need for the CEQA portion of the lawsuit by completely changing (redoing) the facilities offer. This ruling in no way touched upon the usage agreement or indicated the end of or a failure of Bullis's June lawsuit. Yet you keep representing to the public that this lawsuit has been resolved in favor of the district. When you look at the letter you sent to Bullis alleging various so called violations, it is notable in the specifics it leaves out, such as the specifics of the time(s) of the alleged violations and the response made by Bullis in each case. It will be a miracle if they show up at your board meeting tonight and they cannot really respond to the itemized list in your letter because of the lack of specifics. I urge you to seek outside mediation and to stop wasting the resources of the taxpayers of the district in all these frivolous actions, which make a mockery of cooperation and honesty.
We (LASD) have the potential to have one of the most innovative and progressive school districts in the country, yet we are constantly under siege by a minority looking to fight a political battle about public education. Let's focus on the kids.
