WHY ISN'T ANYONE COMMENTING ABOUT HOW THE DISTRICT IS CHOOSING TO MAKE 4 OUT OF THE 5 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS CHARTER SCHOOLS?
ReplyDeleteACCORDING TO THE MEETING LAST NIGHT, BURDICK SAID THE ONLY SCHOOL THAT WON'T BE A CHARTER IS BLACK MOUNTAIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!
THIS IS NOT ABOUT WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE KIDS! THIS IS ABOUT MONEY! AS CHARTER SCHOOLS, CCUSD WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY INTO TEACHERS' RETIREMENT.
BURDICK SAID THE SCHOOLS WILL RECEIVE AN EXTRA $1500 FOR EVERY KID THEY ENROLL. SHE ALSO SAID SHE IS GOING TO "CHARGE" TO BE IN CCUSD FACILITIES, TAKING THAT EXTRA $1500 THAT WOULD GO TO THE SCHOOL AND BRING IT BACK TO THE DISTRICT OFFICE!
WHEN WILL THE MADNESS OF DEBBI BURDICK END????? HOW MUCH LONGER WILL THIS COMMUNITY PUT UP WITH THE NONSENSE OF BURDICK AND HER SORORITY AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE????
Mary Beth, the district reporter from the Arizona Republic has confirmed this. Watch for our comments soon. CCUSD Watch has been advocating for a distrct run charter for years.
ReplyDeleteMs. Faller said she will have a story in Saturday's paper.

ReplyDeleteThanks to May 11. You are correct.
ReplyDeleteMeribeth Reeves, is that you?
ReplyDeleteMeribeth aren't your kids now in PVUSD?
ReplyDeleteI wish people would run for the board and see how much "fun" it can be - it's so much easier to sit on the sidelines and be a Monday morning quarterback than to actually be involved in the game. So typical for CCUSD residents and parents.
This is wrong on so many levels JULY 16, 2012 @5:23 pm.
ReplyDeleteThis was not Meribeth Reeves but Meribeth Faller from the Arizona Republic (maybe you should read the entire post)
To infer that Meribeth Reeves is Monday morning quarterback shows how disconnected you are from your community.
Prior to leaving the district she wrote grants, implemented programs, Sat on site council and steering committees, advocated for Overrides and served as Pto president...now she did not have the glorified often demonized title of District Board Member... just a behind the scenes make things happen for the good of the children volunteer.
maybe the district should be asking themselves how they could alienate a district cheerleader like Meribeth...Ya think??? but no some KNOW IT ALL is going to call names from behind an anonymous post while patting themselves on the back for all their hard work.
Now that is what I would call typical of CCUSD
