AGENDA1 Specific Waiver. SUBJECTRequest by Waugh Elementary School District under the authority of California Education Code Section 5. Education Code Section 5. Corona Creek Elementary School and Meadow Elementary School.
Waiver Number: 3. Action. 1 Consent. RECOMMENDATION0 Approval 1 Approval with conditions 0 Denial. That the joint schoolsite council (SSC) which will serve during the period of this waiver, be composed of the following sixteen members: the shared school principal; three classroom teachers, one other school employee and four parents or community members selected by parents representing Corona Creek Elementary; three classroom teachers, and four parents or community members selected by parents representing Meadow Elementary School. SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION DISCUSSION AND ACTIONSpecific authority is provided in California Education Code (EC) Section 5. State Board of Education (SBE) to waive the SSC requirements of the School- Based Coordination Program (SBCP) Act that would hinder the success of school- based programs. These waivers must be renewed every two years.
All waivers of this type have been approved by the SBE for schools too small to meet the SSC composition requirements of California EC Section 5. Pursuant to the SBE Waiver Policy: Schoolsite Councils for Small Schools Sharing Common Services or Attendance Areas, available at http: //www. Since the population of the schools are over 4. However, this district meets the criteria for the SBE Streamlined Waiver Policy available at http: //www. Academic Performance Index (API) of 8. SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION DISCUSSION AND ACTION (Cont.)Therefore, this waiver has been scheduled for the consent calendar as Waugh Elementary School District has a 2. API of 8. 98. SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUESThe Waugh Elementary School District has two small elementary schools located less than a mile apart from each other and serve similar student and parent populations.
There is a common Parent Teacher Association, a common English Learner Advisory Committee, and a common educational foundation. All curricula are identical. All teachers meet for planning staff development.
Since the primary purpose of the SSC is to advise on instructional improvement, it’s reasonable to address issues jointly. To have separate SSCs would unnecessarily duplicate efforts and fractionalize employee, parent, and student constituencies. The student population at Corona Creek Elementary School will be 4. Meadow Elementary School will be 4. Waiver Policy criteria. The SSC has approved this request. The California Department of Education recommends approval with the above conditions.
Demographic Information: Waugh Elementary School District has a student population of 9. Sonoma County. Authority for Waiver: EC Section 5. Period of request: July 1, 2. July 3. 1, 2. 01. Local board approval date(s): June 1. Bargaining unit(s) consulted on date(s): September 1, 2. Name of bargaining unit/representative(s) consulted: Waugh Teacher’s Association/Marlene Scholz.
Position of bargaining units: 0 Neutral 1 Support 0 Oppose. Comments (if appropriate): None. Advisory committee(s) consulted: Waugh Schoolsite Council. School culture is unhealthy at many, if not most, schools. Maura Larkins is not fighting for herself. She has an exciting new life outside the classroom.
She is fighting for kids- -and for teachers. Many excellent teachers whose rights have been trampled by CTA needed their jobs to survive. Maura Larkins was able to survive financially without her job, but one younger teacher from Castle Park Elementary, Heather Smith, who lost her job because of the unhealthy teacher culture at Castle Park Elementary, became seriously ill and could not support herself. Let's face it, Castle Park Elementary is not presently a good place to work, so it didn't break Maura Larkins' heart to leave its toxic environment. But it broke her heart to watch the school she loved as a child spin out of control.
That school continues to circle the drain. The PTA closed down in 2. Castle Park Elementary should be a good place to work.
Maura Larkins will continue to work to see that it and other schools become good places to work. If you worked at this place, withpeople like these, and these,once you got over the initial shock of losing your job, you wouldn't really be sad to be out of a deeply dysfunctional workplace. Coach James "Ted" Carter's students needed him. Principal Dianne Carberry and her husband, a coach who suggested a student take a substance that caused his kidneys to fail, should have been fired instead of Carter, who blew the whistle. Why did Daniel Shinoff and the Escondido Union High School District board appeal the court's award to Carter? They should have apologized, paid the victim, and immediately hired new administrators.
Maura Larkins' students needed her. They were deprived, at a critical time of their education, when they were undergoing a critical transition from bilingual to English- only instruction, of a teacher who knew how to teach them. Who wants to silence teachers? Both Arnold and CTA! Arnold Schwarzenegger and CTA President Barbara Kerr BOTH want to silence teachers. How do we keep free speech in California? In November 2. 00.
NO vote NO on Propostion 7. Unions deserve to have a voice just as much as corporations. Throw out corrupt CTA officers Barbara Kerr, David Sanchez and Dean Vogeland- -even more importantly- -throw out head legal counsel Beverly Tuckerand executive director Carolyn Doggett. CTA should quit making demands.
Bonnie Dumanis has already done enough for Barbara Kerr and CTA head counsel Beverly Tucker by declining to investigate obstruction of justice by CTA and SDCOE JPA in the Larkins case. In the Larkins case, CTA worked closely with union- buster Libia Gil and others whom it usually opposes. Politics makes strange bedfellows! Why did Dumanis decline to investigate? She's courting Republicans more and more these day.
Dumanis would receive painful political retribution if she held either Democratic leaders of CTA or Republican leaders of SDCOE* responsible for their crimes. Why would Dumanis risk her neck to protect a third- grade teacher from felony obstruction of justice? She wouldn't. In the Larkins case, individuals from both Democratic and Republican parties were seeking personal power at the expense of the institutions they represent. There was a time when Democrats and Republicans worked together for the public good. That time is past. Now it seems they work together only to split ill- gotten gains. Hasn't San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis already done enough for Beverly Tucker?
Workers need unions, but workers don't need arrogant union bosses and lawyers! California Teachers Association needs new leadership to protect teachers and students from unscrupulous, power- hungry individuals who have obtained control. Update: #1 was accomplished on November 8, 2. The FBI and the SEC are investigating union presidents in San Diego"California Teachers Association, a state wide organization, is not the exclusive representative and does not owe employees a duty of fair representation." *CTA relies heavily on the protection of this decision. The San Diego Superior Court disagreed with this decision in the Maura Larkins' case, but the issue has not been raised at the appellate level. California union presidents agreed to and profited from a pension scam in the City of San Diego. Union presidents who were on the San Diego pension board have been indicted.
Metropolitan Employees Association President Judie Italiano and her lawyer Ann Smith are determined to keep the ill- gotten gains they obtained by working closely with Republican Mayor Richard Murphy. The FBI and SEC, in addition to the district attorney,are investigating.
CTA dishonestly obtained over $6,0. CTA lawyer Michael Hersh also wrote a letter gloating over the fact that the teacher didn't know how to defend herself from his taking such a huge amount of her money by dishonest means. A little- known PERB (Public Employment Relations Board) decision allows CTA to run roughshod over ethical teachers who try to blow the whistle on CTA wrongdoing. CTA head counsel Beverly Tucker and executive director Carolyn Doggett have muzzled teachers. They have worked hard to silence teachers in Chula Vista Elementary School District and elsewhere. In 2. 00. 5, then CTA president Barbara Kerr and Beverly Tucker asked the San Diego District Attorney to investigate an e- mail written by teachers Lillian Perry and Larry Sand.
It's insulting that it was sent to [teachers] at their schools," says Kerr. Only CTA should be allowed to tell teachers what to think, right, Beverly?
Unlike other California unions, CTA has no legal obligation to give fair representation. How did this happen?
How Did CTA Get Special Permission to Violate California Labor Law? CTA union leaders puffed themselves up with pride because the voters disagreed with Schwarzenegger about the need to silence unions.
It was NOT CTA union bosses Carolyn Doggett, Beverly Tucker who did it. And it certainly wasn't the figurehead president Barbara Kerr. It was the rank and file and the people of California!
