Chula Vista addresses homeless crisis
Bet if one of these agencies were to appear on the East side John McCann would be on it like a fly to honey - with cameras rolling and media invited. Perhaps you might get some local media to listen to you, provide them with facts, call for a demonstration at a City Hall meeting with TV coverage. Point the finger to failure of leadership - OH MY!!!!! All of those future positions a few of them desire UP IN FREAKING SMOKE!!!!!! We are becoming what National City of old WAS. Thank You Mayor Salas and Council!!!!!!!!— March 12, 2016 3:37 p.m.
Chula Vista addresses homeless crisis
Jerry Thomas - your comment has educated us with regard to the location of several agencies. And again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, what IS the CV Mayor doing - she is flying around the world Mexico, Paris????? - lol the while her City is deteriorating daily. The City Council - useless as - - - -. Why aren't other cities sharing in the needs of and offering of convenient locations? Mr. Thomas, you may have just hit the nail on the head.— March 12, 2016 8:25 a.m.
Chula Vista addresses homeless crisis
Tino Martinez - I was DEEPLY touched by your comments and efforts to lend a helping 'kind' hand to Eddy.— March 11, 2016 2:29 p.m.
Educational turf war down south
MyFavoriteTeacher/Bvavsv - as human beings we come into discussions like this based on OUR personal experiences. The need for Unions is well documented as we witnessed that need during 'the gandara' and 'Brand 2'. I shudder to think what would have happened to my family members if they would not have had that protection once the District learned of my familial ties to them. Having said that, not all 'children with issues' come from loud mouth parents who fail to identify the problems of their child. I raised a family members child for 17 years - that child ran away from home, broke into a teachers car and stoled her purse - once he retrieved her money from the wallet he ceremoniously proceeded to throw the purse up on top of one of the schools buildings. To make a long story short the police found him and when I asked how he had survived he shared what he had done. That Monday he and I sat in the AP's office where he was forced, by me, to tell of the theft. No doubt by the end of the day the story had circulated throughout the teacher network and I am most certain there are some who 'may' have presumed 'can you imagine the home life he must have to do such a thing'. My point we as parents do the best we can IN MOST CASES -AND- teachers do the best they can IN MOST CASES. THE KEY - both entities must work together for the benefit of the child. MyFav - Regarding your comment on School Boards - this community has not yet healed from the many dysfunctional years of the past. And while yes, we have a new Board here in SUHSD territory controversies are beginning to service and the lack of campaign promises being honored is troubling. We are being asked to weigh in on a PLA and 1.5 BILLION WITH a B BOND - while being told to be patient on issues of Best Practices being implemented. SDCity Schools, at every Board meeting being heralded as the be all to end all by Trustee Hall - yet we have just witnessed as the Board Pres was forced to step down for actions akin to Jesus Gandara's wedding shower AND yesterday Voice of San Diego published story sharing the fact that ALL OF THE BOND MONIES CITY SCHOOLS HAS HAD AT ITS DISPOSAL AMOUNTED TO LITTLE IN THE FORM OF BETTER SCHOOLS (sound familiar). Until and unless ALL PARTIES MAKE A DETERMINED EFFORT TO JOIN FORCES FOR THE GOOD OF STUDENTS VS. THEIR SPECIAL INTERESTS WE WILL CONTINUE TO COME TO MS. LUZZARO's ARTICLES AND BANG AWAY AT OUR KEYBOARDS OUT OF FRUSTRATION. Maybe, just Maybe some of those folks sending their students to Charters are doing so because of all of the controversy surrounding special interests, lack of fiscal responsibility or data indicative that our students are regressing vs progressing. ******* 7 of the 9 children I have raised are products of CV Elementary and SUHSD - two are educators in the SUHSD - the others like these 2 received a stellar educational by both Districts one being Special Ed. To ALL OF THOSE ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHER AND COACHES I SAY THANK YOU!!!— March 3, 2016 3:07 p.m.
New plan for Chula Vista's west side
eastlaker - the proposal offered in this story is PRECISELY why City Hall needs new blood. It is hard to believe a City as great as CV has such POOR leadership.— February 26, 2016 9:21 a.m.
New plan for Chula Vista's west side
Perhaps CV leadership might take heed of what is happening at the National level - the populace is SICK AND TIRED OF THE POOR LEADERSHIP AND,,,,,,,,,,, Sweetwater is looking to put a new tax on the ballot this November. On top of BB on top of O on top of CV Elementary and on top of Southwesterns - surely they are out of their freakin' minds!!!!!!!!!— February 26, 2016 6:49 a.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
Eastlaker - GOOD NEWS! At the last meeting Superintendent Janney announced she has implemented an inventory process. EVERYTHING we taxpayers have purchased will be identified, tagged and logged. To think of ALL OF THAT MONEY WE SPENT ON 'the gandara' and Brand - and just think of how much walked out the door under their tenure.— February 21, 2016 10:21 a.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
AlexClarke while I have great respect for your views and insight, on part of this comment I will respectfully disagree. There are MANY Administrators, who, in my opinion, are stellar. True, there are some who are not worth their salaries, but the same can be said for any Titles. Respectfully submitted (chuckle)— February 20, 2016 5:41 p.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
Ah yes, all,of those EXPENSIVE REAL CONSTRUCTION TOOLS - not the nickel and dime ones many of us have in our garages - they just seem to have disappeared. And?????? What of the the 'bouncy jumps' a certain Middle School had that seemed to vanish a few years back. TAX DOLLARS PEOPLE, THESE ARE OUR TAX DOLLARS - but, hey it's only money.— February 20, 2016 9:28 a.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
I have long wondered why, the beaurocrats continue to mandate curriculums that focus on College? There are many, many of our youth that have no intention, no desire to continue onto higher education. What are we doing for them? What message are we sending them when we mandate goals based on what 'WE BELIEVE THEY NEED'? An Electrician, Plumber or Carpenter does not need to know what a Dr., Lawyer or Teacher knows - the skills set are different. My point - we offer options to parents (Charters vs Public vs Private) so,,,,, when are we going to start meeting the needs of the individual students? I have raised many children and one thing I learned a long time ago - each child must be celebrated for their individual talents - each child must be respected in their life career choices. While I have 2 daughters who are Educators, their expertise helps little when I need a Plumber, Electrician or Mechanic. And,,,,, often times when writing out that check to the Mechanic, Electrician or Plumber I take pause and wonder tell me again why tenured Educators are paid so little in comparison? The Trades, we need to offer much more in the area of the Trades.— February 19, 2016 10:28 p.m.
