CUSD continues parcel tax discussion to Monday night at 6:45

The agenda calls for “RECONVENE OPEN SESSION - 6:45 PM”. Not the usual 7 PM

Where are the people who complained about the previous City Council “rushing things through”? Of course, as I recall, they are the same people who contributed to the campaigns of the new City Council members and CCWD members and are the ones who contributed to CUSD members Schreurs, Wilson and Gardner.

The survey last October indicated a severe lack of trust in the CUSD Board. I sent an email <http://www.cusd.info> to the CUSD Board Thursday morning recommending including a clause that the parcel tax would expire if they changed the school site from the Cunha site or withdrew from receiving Federal Funding (to avoid NCLB accountability).

Including the language would hurt nothing unless the School Board majority simply has cynically acted to get a tax passed after four failed attempts and then just go back to their old ways. It is curious that this tax proposal has been underway since last October and yet there is still no hard copy of it available to the public to review.

Thank you for providing this information.There was a time when the HMB Review used to be a news paper and provided this useful voter information. Unfortunately, the HMB Review has degraded into little more than a biased PR outlet - within the editorial pages AND the ‘news’ pages!.
