SUSD Live — Public hearing (continued)
Melany Long, Fremont parent : “I understand changes need to be made. But I feel if you move one teacher to another school will it really make a difference or hurt the morale.”
Ellen Old, teacher: “Why is Stockton Unified being sanctioned by the federal government when we didn’t get one cent? This feels like all [...]
SUSD Live — Public hearing
Many people and many speakers here tonight.
Jocelyn Anderson, Fremont second-grade teacher: “When I came to Fremont I was embraced with welcoming hearts and unconditional support. Our site has leadership and compassion. Our school is only 4 years old. Like a 4-year-old, it’s still developing.”
Monica Alvarado, parent: “I as a parent am at the school every [...]
SUSD Live — Race To The Top
Vaczovsky: Calif. didn’t get money from Round 1, but Round 2 in April and Round 3 next year remain.
“This board has to hold two public hearings to address issues of its lowest performing schools. Stockton has seven low-performing schools.”
He said superintendents are angry about the “unrealistic” time line. He said that originally districts thought all [...]
SUSD Live — Budget update
Jason Willis: He’s talking about the district’s second interim financial report. He said the district continues to meet all financial requirements for this year and the next two years.

ADA is [...]

SUSD Live — Race To The Top
Vaczovsky is speaking of the new legal requirements to address lowest-performing schools. This blog has dealt previously with this issue here and here. So I won’t rehash the details.
Basically, the district is still waiting to hear which schools will be affected. The following schools were on the last list provided by the state: Roosevelt, Pittman, [...]
SUSD Live — Layoff resolution — 230, not 236
Yesterday we provided a list of layoffs that included 36 new FTEs being lost. That number is now down to 30. Vaczovsky is giving a detailed explanation.
Marie Nakamura said SUSD is laying off a lower percentage of its certificated employees than many other districts.
Sorry, we’ll probably have to wait until tomorrow for a PDF that [...]
SUSD Live — 6th Tuesday in a row
Closed session is over and the meeting is underway. It’s supposed to be a short one.
The board did approve sending notices to principals telling them they COULD be reassigned. Ramirez voted no and Castillo is not at the meeting.
Public comments
Steve Vaczovsky: He’s speaking about the big march scheduled for Thursday to protest state budget cuts. [...]
