WHY IS SPEAKING UP AT SCHOOL BOARD SO INTIMIDATING? * 06-29-22 * CHICO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

FROM THE JUNE 29, 2022 CHICO UNIFIED SCHOOL BOARD MEETING WHERE THE FINAL "LCAP" PROGRAM FOR 2022/2023 WAS ON THE AGENDA.

MY COMMENTS WERE CONFUSING TO HEAR WITHOUT PERSPECTIVE BUT THE NET IS THIS:

THE "LOCAL CONTROL" OF THE LOCAL CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN (LCAP) IS BEING CONTROLLED BY THE RADICAL LEFT PROGRESSIVE BOARDMEMBERS (LANDO, ROBINSON, DALBY AND KAISER) AND THE CHICO STATE ACADEMIANS WHO ARE CONNECTED TO THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST OF AMERICA PARTY IN CHICO.

IT'S OBVIOUS TO MOST PARENTS WHO DO NOT LIVE AND OPERATE IN THE FAR-LEFT EXTREME, THAT THIS IS WRONG. BUT THE NATURE OF HOW THE EXTREME FACTIONS OPERATE, WHERE THEY RUN TO THE LOCAL MEDIA AND CALL OUT PEOPLE BY NAME, AND USE THE CHICO STATE OPERATIONS TO RUN THEIR PETITION DRIVES, IS THEIR RELIGION. THEY DO NOT KNOW ANY OTHER WAY.

THEY MAKE IT EXTREMELY INTIIMIDATING FOR "REGULAR' PARENTS TO GO IN FRONT OF THEM TO ASK QUESTIONS. THE CONDESCENDING AND JUDGMENTAL TONE IS ENOUGH TO KEEP MOST FROM EVEN WATCHING ON YOUTUBE.

BUT I HAVE NO PROBLEM GOING IN THERE TO OBSERVE IN PERSON, AND RAISE MY HAND WHEN KATHLEEN KAISER ASKS "DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO COMMENT"?

I CAN DO THIS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE CHILDREN IN THIS DISTRICT THAT COMPLICATES MATTERS. AND YET I AM A CONCERNED TAXPAYER WHO IS TIRED OF THE MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS IN ADDITION TO THE NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE KIDS HERE IN CHICO. 20% OF THE CHILDREN IN THIS DISTRICT ARE ON QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PLANS (IEP) AND NO ONE IS EVER ASKING WHY. ASKING SUPERINTENDENT KELLY STALEY WHO HAS BEEN IN THAT ROLE FOR 20 YEARS "WHAT ARE YOU DOING"?

ANYWAY, THE POINT OF MY POSTING THESE IS TWO FOLD. ONE, TO KEEP THE PERSPECTIVE BALANCED BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, GET THEIR REACTIONS AND STATEMENTS ON FILM.

FEEL FREE TO SEND ANY INSIGHT OR CONCERN WITH MALFEASANCE TO ME! IT TAKES A VILLAGE (AS ONE VILLAGE IDIOT SAID):
