Crossing guards enabling unsafe drop off and pick up amidst #charterschool traffic chaos. pajaronian.com/ceiba-school-g…
@MrWildstyle @iamreneejai The complex definitely has a playbook and no shortage of cash.
The Santa Cruz County Office of Education and Pajaro Valley Unified School District are facing a federal civil rights complaint for hosting a racially segregated teacher support program. washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…
Stories you won't read in the @LASchoolReport because they are not #CCSAapproved: Will the #LACharterSchools Industry support Laura Friedman again as she enters the race for the CA-30 seat currently held by Adam Schiff? Read my article at: changethelausd.medium.com/running-from-h…
@maryann_ruegger @IPS_CC @MarkLatta11 You mean it's a #realestate scam? Seeing it first-hand in California. #charterschools routinely overpay for industrial property adjacent to toxic sites and get $$$ from the California State Financing Authority.
@carolburris @palan57 @jeffbcdm @ISTAmembers @NEIFPE Just follow the California #charterschool playbook: have cities violate zoning laws to allow #charterschools in heavy industrial areas; place schools on former/existing #toxicsites; and ignore all student #safety including #SRTS. Groups like @CudahyAlliance are fighting back.
@carolburris @palan57 @jeffbcdm @ISTAmembers @NEIFPE I imagine all of the #charterschool #trafficstudies submitted to the city are defective.
@ChangeTheLAUSD @SpeakUpParents @LASchools Troubling. Check out this #charterschool, @DCP_IAmTheFirst, in San Jose. mercurynews.com/2022/12/18/fen…
The community weighs in on why the “Improving #SpecialEducation Within The #LAUSD” resolution should be adopted. Have you added your voice? Read my article at: changethelausd.medium.com/proposed-resol…
@ChangeTheLAUSD Hopefully this trend towards accountability and safety will surface in other parts of the state.
Despite spending millions on #LAUSD elections, supporters of #CharterSchools no longer have the votes to prevent oversight of these schools. Read my article at: changethelausd.medium.com/the-charter-sc…
@DianeRavitch Advocating for your child with #SpEd needs can be intimidating and knowing how the system works will prepare you better. These are things I wish I had known before my first IEP meeting. #ParentAdvocacy Read my article at: medium.com/age-of-awarene…
New analysis of charter schools from @NEPCtweet finds their education advantages are questionable but they do excellent job of disrupting public school system and steering public money to private organizations that hide financials. bit.ly/3fVhb75 #CharterSchoolFail
Stories you won't read in the @LASchoolReport: As the charter school industry tries to hold control of the #LAUSD School Board, just a few hundred votes separate the candidates in both races. #KidsNotPolitics Read my article at: changethelausd.medium.com/school-board-r…
@CALocalSCZ Thx! I appreciate response.
@MaggieBMedia I would venture to guess they didn't fail to consider impact; they likely knew what it was going to be bad and generated an indefensible traffic report. DM if you want me to how you examples of how "reputable" traffic firms do this for #charterschools.
@EducationNews_b DM me if you want to learn how a #charterschool in California is using a 25-45 mph acceleration zone on a state highway for student drop-off and pick-up.
@EducationNews_b Extremely dangerous conditions. Parents double-park, children exit and/or enter cars on the driver's side, children jaywalk, etc. #Chartershools should be held responsible for #SafeRoutestoSchool (#SRTS). Take it to the State Education Department. City and School will do nothing.
@CALocalSCZ What was the hazard?
@kramdas @NYCMayor If possible, check out the #traffic and #environmental reports that the #charterschools likely submitted in support of their school siting. These reports are usually required for planning department approvals. They are often wrong and cleverly designed to be confusing.
