Photos: Middle school groundbreaking at Cunha

Finally! It has only taken a decade to get a shovel above the ground for the new intermediate school.

I do wonder, if CUSD Board members Dwight Wilson and Jolanda Schreurs had not ‘learned’ in the survey last October that a Parcel Tax couldn’t win till the school site was changed, if this would have happened.

I also wonder if the Parcel Tax wins in June, whether they will ‘discover’ some reason to change the site again. They did refuse to consider my written request to include 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).

Did anyone see Ken Jones there?

Anyway, next step is to get school busing restored so the kids can get back and forth to school safely.

Then, someday, a school district that educates the other half of the kids. I can dream.

Mr. Johnson,

After reviewing this post and several from other posts on the parcel tax and school board issues, I am having a hard time understanding exactly what you would like to have happen.

Would you be able to, in 100 words or less, tell people what you would like to see happen? Not specifics regarding middle school locations or mislabeling/misinterpretation of statistics, just a high net on how you would do something better/or have it done better by different people.

Your website is as disjointed as many of your messages. Is there any concise principle that you are following or are you merely playing some kind of self-appointed taxpayer advocate / school board critic role? Do you have actual supporters or like-minded associates? Do you have ideas other than removing the current board? Again, just looking for something positive other than the continual finger pointing. Can’t argue with properly educating all of the students or providing busing, but where are your solutions?

I note that your three picks for office in November (Grady, Ferreira and Marsh) yielded exactly one winner. I’m just having trouble figuring out if there is any sense to be made of your ongoing “campaign.”
