Ken Simmons, I don't know who made you privy to the information that you have, but you should have…Read More checked your sources. The information you have posted here is inaccurate and misleading. Yes, it is due to budgets cuts and recommendations of the country fiscal advisor that all Library Clerk II positions have been eliminated, but note that it is all. And there was never a decision to pack up the books and put them in storage. On the contrary, the collection will stay intact, and will be covered and protected the same way it is every summer to prevent sun and dust damage. No parents have come forward to volunteer to run the library. Not one! And the decisions that have been made by the district are exactly that, the District's - the unions are not the problem here. If you want to stir up drama, try sticking to the truth, and try using it to make a difference and set things right for our students!

Laura - I do not know what your position is or where your information comes from. With respect to…Read More this particular issue, I have no knowledge, but as a former contractor whose kids went to public schools, I tried several times to clean up/repair/restore bathrooms, replace rotting windows and frames, etc. only to be told "NO", and not just no, but emphatically so. Only from the janitors and maintenance personnel could I find a rational reason, which was the protection of union jobs. Not really rational, however, as the maintenance people were all supportive of getting the work done (completely for free), as they admitted they would never,ever be able to get to it, even if they had the skills. Additionally, as a former tutor through the "No Child Left Behind" program, I think anyone would find it impossible to volunteer to do such a thing as tutoring - for pretty much the same reasons. Private schools thrive and blossom through the use of volunteers. Our area especially is overflowing with qualified people that could and would volunteer to help our schools. As the population ages, the available pool of potential volunteers will grow substantially. Many of the schools' problems could be addressed through the use of volunteers for everything from maintenance to kitchen help to tutoring and, yes, even teaching - god forbid. Will any of this happen? Not as long as the unions are primarily out for themselves and the districts are circling the wagons, both pretty much ignoring the needs of their students. Think about all of this the next time a school bond measure comes up. More money is not the answer. Far less money might help drive true results actually reflected in benefits to the kids.

From one of the interviews I watched online, it seems that many Saratoga High students knew what…Read More happened at the party and had seen the pictures. How is it that arrests did not follow the assault and the suicide for over 6 months? Could it be that the students who knew information about the felony chose to remain silent? I hope that is not the case; we will surely find out as the details of the case are revealed in the media over the next weeks and months. In the meantime lets make sure we are teaching our kids about the responsibility of living in community and caring about others. God forbid that any of the students have to live with the knowledge that they could have prevented the suicide, or with the knowledge that they helped cover up such a heinous crime.
