johndewey - regarding Mr. Shilling, I agree. Hopefully all of those who ran will continue to stay involved. It will, after all, show the voting community those that truly care. I have hopes that term limits will be voted in via bylaw changes as one of the first orders of business. Now that would send a message wouldn't it? - perhaps to this new group it truly is all about the kids.— November 6, 2014 9:49 p.m.

Thank You, as you can tell my community students are important to me.— November 6, 2014 9:41 p.m.

Whether IPADS are a good tool or not I guess could be respectfully debated til the cows come home. My issue with SUHSD and our tax dollars being spent on them is simply - WE FAILED TO DO ANY ANALYSIS AT ALL. WE DID NOT AND CONTINUE TO NOT HAVE THE BAND WIDTH, ETC TO SUPPORT WHAT WE HAVE KIDS ARE NOT USING THEM IN HIGH SCHOOL LIKE THEY WERE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, WHY???????? High School teachers have NOT been properly trained Text books - where are all of the online books that were promised Our current 9th graders, they are coming up on year 4 - what happens when they no longer charge / we will be purchasing 2 classes worth - incoming 7th graders and 10 the graders? Time to pull the plug. Here is a novel idea - why not put those millions into reduced class sizes and classroom aides? Put resources into our Math and Science classes.— November 6, 2014 5:48 p.m.

Miagd - then there are the 'west side' students who earned full rides to such institutions as Berkely, NYU, 3 to MIT, 2 to the Naval Academy, UCLA, and a Charger Scholarship - that is to only name a few that covered a couple of years at my community school Montgomery High. Please know, I recognize we are considered a poor community and yes our students may all not have the perfect home life - however, we are a proud community and I am very protective of my communities students - one might argue economics plays a part in the lack of parental involvement on the west side so,,,,, respectfully I ask 'what is the excuse for the no show parents from the east side'? There is need for improvement on both sides of the now perceived great divide referred to as the 805. Hopefully you understand, I and others over here on the west side think our areas are pretty darn special as well - heck, for one, we are closer to the ocean.— November 5, 2014 10:20 p.m.

Ms. Casey - Ms. Doyle - Thank You for acknowledging what many of us have been standing before our Board preaching FOR CLOSE TO 3 years now. You both should be commended in your efforts to look out for and protect the students. Hopefully your willingness to step forward is sending a sign to we parents and the community that you do not fear retribution. The errors in judgement of the past need to be brought forward, exposed and corrected. THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD TO A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE FOR OUR STUDENTS AND A POSITIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TAXPAYERS AND THE DISTRICT WE FINANCIALLY SUPPORT. We can not unspill milk but we can darn sure take steps to ensure the same mistakes are not made in the future.— November 5, 2014 6:56 p.m.

miagd - it was my understanding thru a VERY good source that the teachers that initially headed up the IPAD usage at Hilltop were never asked.— November 5, 2014 6:46 p.m.

Bvav - while your words regarding the parents responsibility rings true I HAVE SAT THRU A FEW DOG AND PONY SHOWS BY DISTRICT PERSONNEL CLAIMING THE FIREWALLS ARE SECURE. Maty Adato, has been, since the beginning, been speaking on the IPAD issue to no avail. She was looked at as if she had the plague when asking for answers to her questions. Kevin O'Neill as well questioned the sanity of the purchase and was raked over the coals for hurting a District employees feelings when he demanded answers. Bottom line - if our District is unable to support the IPADS for ANY reason then why in the hell are we steadily buying them?— November 5, 2014 6:41 p.m.

Eastlaker - IPADS were purchased with Prop O monies initially.— November 5, 2014 6:34 p.m.

IPADS, due to the poor planning - I take that back, NO PLANNING thanks to Dianne Russo's rush to purchase them are failing at the high school level. Many students are not even taking them to high school - those that are, having a fun time with the games they have downloaded. High school teachers being expected to perform miracles with little to no training and few if any resources on the IPADS. New Board members, we have been subjected to 'presentations' by District personnel on how wonderful the IPADS are - which have been akin to smoke being blown thru our brains. It is time for our new Board to send the message - ON THIS, AND ALL ISSUES WE WANT TO HEAR AND LEARN THE TRUTH FROM OUR EMPLOYEES AND OUR STUDENTS. I will be bringing some of the truth to the next Board meeting -— November 5, 2014 1:01 p.m.

Congratulations to those community members who will now be sitting at the dais of SUHSD. Our hopes for a better tomorrow are with you. We are depending on you to do what the majority of those who came before you did not - PUT THE STUDENTS FIRST! Open comment to Ms. Bertha Lopez - I THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DID TO HELP THE ANTAGONISTS. WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER, YOU DO BETTER - YOU NOT ONLY FOUGHT FOR THE STUDENTS AND TAXPAYERS, BUT YOU ALSO STOOD ALONE IN FIGHTING FOR THE TEACHERS, COUNSELORS, LIBRARIANS, ADULT SCHOOL STUDENTS and ALL OF THE OTHER DISTRICT EMPLOYEES - I KNOW, I WAS THERE AND WITNESSED IT.— November 5, 2014 12:10 a.m.
