AM I ASKING TOO MANY QUESTIONS SUPERINTENDENT STALEY? * 07-10-22 * PREYINGHAWK REPORT

I HAVE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME AT THE CHICO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD MEETINGS LATELY. THERE IS A LOT OF FUNNY BUSINESS HAPPENING IN MY OPINION. MONKEY BUSINESS TOO. PROBABLY SOME NEFARIOUS BUSINESS. RISKY BUSINESS. MAYBE A LITTLE CRIMINAL BUSINESS.

JUST A LOT GOING ON. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. WONDERFUL TEACHERS. FANTASTIC STUDENTS. BEAUTIFUL PARENTS (EXCLUDING THE SOCIAL JUSTICE MARXIST BULLY PARENTS).

I REALLY STARTED TO WATCH LAST FALL WHEN THE TRUSTEE/DISTRICT MAPS WERE BEING DRAWN. I WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL OF THE ELECTION MAP REVIEWS. BUTTE COUNTY, CITY OF CHICO, AND THE CHICO UNIFIED SCHOOL BOARD. THE SCHOOL BOARD WAS A BATTLE. AN ALL OUT WAR BUT DEMOCRACY PREVAILED AND WE ARE TURNING OVER AT LEAST 1 IF NOT 3 OF THE OLD GUARD SOCIALIST LIBERAL MARXIST BULLY BOARDMEMBERS.

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW.

THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE WAY SUPERINTENDENT STALEY IS RUNNING THIS MASSIVE OPERATION. WAY TOO MANY CHILDREN ON INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PLANS (IEP) WITH NEVER ENDING INCREASE IN $$ AND NEVER ENDING YEAR OVER YEAR INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENT REQUIRED TO HAVE AN IEP PLAN.

TOTAL BUDGET: $29.6M

SELPA: $11.5M
OTHER: 1.0M

GENERAL FUND: $17.1M (58% OF THE TOTAL BUDGET IS FUNDED BY UNRESTRICTED GENERAL FUNDS)

I SERIOUSLY THINK WE NEED TO LOOK MORE CLOSELY AT WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON UNDER SUPERINTENDENT STALEY'S 20-year TENURE.

AND IT WILL BE AN AMAZING ELECTION SEASON AND LET'S BRING IN SOME ADULTS TO HELP PULL THIS WONDERFUL SCHOOL DISTRICT OUT OF THE DARKNESS.
