Only a fence between them
CVsincethe 70s - unfortunately I was not aware of the plan to put a high school on an elementary campus. Please know, while I believe alternative education has a right to be offered I take exception to my tax dollars being used to support 'Charters' for a variety of reasons - IF a Charter is going to be placed in a community, then THAT communities children should be the students. - while some Charters reportedly are doing well and the students are benefiting what about the others that are reportedly failing. - Why are some Districts resources being used by Charters? Now I understand that they are paying for the services, but if they want to operate as an educational alternative, then they need to be prepared to carry the load of responsibilities on their own dime. - I am emphatically against an elementary school being on the same grounds (even if separated by a fence) as a high school. I encourage members of my community to attend the meeting and share their views. We, after all, are the stewards of those who come after us.— February 26, 2015 11:17 a.m.

CVsincethe70s - well, I have been here since the 60's ( see being old does count for something ). The area they are looking to put the high school charter in is MY COMMUNITY. I had NO knowledge of this happening and consider myself pretty well informed. It is obvious this proposal was NOT well advertised to the community, say what you may about sign in sheets and records. We have seen what another local school district did with their charter list and meetings (SUHSD) - I was in attendance at that fiasco. On the subject of Mr. Tamayo - while historically I was not a fan of his I have been MORE THAN IMPRESSED with his actions as a CV Board member. As stated above if C.V. wants a high school Charter - then buy the land and build it. While our community may not be considered wealthy - hard working does not equate to being ignorant. Unfortunately I will be in attendance at a SUHSD meeting or I would be there to stand against the Charter. Regarding Ms. Luzzaro, well, all I can say is she got the ball rolling on the 'questionable dealings' in a couple other Districts in the So Bay mainly Sweetwater, with Southwestern running a close second and San Ysidro pulling up the rear - 18 indictments later SUHSD has an entire new Board. For the record - 'we are sick and tired and simply not going to take being taken advantage of - our children's education and safety are far too important to us'. Say what you may about us but bottom line WE WILL BE RESPECTED!!!!!!!— February 25, 2015 10:53 p.m.

You ever get the feeling Sjtorres sounds an awful lot like a bitter Edbrand? Wondering if he has written that reimbursement check yet? Maybe he and Russo could carpool to the post office together and send those monies back at the same time. And,,,,,,, what was John McCann doing when several members in the community questioned the Brand and Russo contracts - well voting for them of course. Chula Vista taxpayers be careful................— February 24, 2015 6:01 p.m.

Visduh: I live in the So. San Diego area (Montogmery High & Middle). I would NOT be in favor of being part of San Diego County Schools - as we are So Bay in every way but zip code!— February 23, 2015 11:27 a.m.
The garbage man challenged
Jill Galvez - while we have had differing opinions in the past I agree whole heatedly with your statement 'the country would be better off if we educated ourselves more'. Unfortunately it has become like a plague - the masses would prefer to 'let someone else do it' and feel perfectly comfortable with their easy chair quarterbacking. News - to many, if you attempt to engage them in the current event news, they begin bringing you up to date on the Kardashians.— February 22, 2015 7:50 a.m.

AlexClarke - I am of the opinion that it is NOT the 'School Board' that is corrupt but certain School Board members. While SUHSD was known for years as corrupt there were a couple of members who actually fought for our children and we taxpayers - Mr. Mercado and Ms. Lopez. We can all put the blame on those that used their position vs. serve in their position however that is taking the easy way out. Focusing on our So Bay community - APATHY is the culprit. While more seats are now taken at Board meetings, one would think, with our large populace - there would be an overflowing crowd at each and every meeting. But alas, the masses would prefer to sit back and complain vs. engaging in action that brings about change. We must all be the stakeholders in education -after all, WE FUND IT.— February 22, 2015 7:34 a.m.

There is a reason that children ages Pre School - 6 are separated. If they want a High School Charter - BUILD IT!— February 20, 2015 5:24 p.m.
