Transparent as mud in Chula Vista
SJ Torres, Speaking of disclosure, it's time for you to at least disclose your name. I do wish in the future you would read before you comment. Neither this article nor the previous one attacks charters; rather the articles give the specifics about a specific problem with one charter wishing to occupy an elementary school campus. And whoever is feeding you this misinformation about my family members, has an agenda, just like you do.

Transparent as mud in Chula Vista
Reader2 , All five of the elementary school board members voted for the construction bids.

Mr Hides Behind the Mask Torres, Your post is inaccurate, love to count the ways but gotta run and spend the kickback my **union bosses** gave me... Your epithets are curiously archaic, are you from the 1920's?

Only a fence between them
mystyinsandiego, thanks for the notice of the meeting. I just looked up the agenda and there are several cvlcc/silver wing items on the agenda for tomorrow evening. One section looks just like the posting earlier today from cv70s: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On May 8, 2012, the Board approved the Chula Vista Learning Community Charter (CVLCC) petition for the period of July 2012 through June 2017. Included in the charter petition was the integration of Grades 9 through 12. CVLCC Grade 9 students were housed in facilities at Silver Wing Elementary for the 2012-13 school year as District staff and CVLCC administration discussed options for a permanent location for the charter high school. With planning and discussions continuing and the need to accommodate students in Grades 9 and 10 for the 2013-14 school year, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2012-13.58 for the purchase of two 48' x 40' relocatable classroom buildings and one 12' x 40' relocatable restroom building to be placed at Silver Wing for CVLCC paid by CVLCC. Subsequently, based on parent and charter school community support, the decision was made to permanently house CVLCC High at Silver Wing. Also in 2013-14, CVLCC decided to proceed with plans to purchase a 132' x 40' two-story facility that would consist of seven additional classrooms, a multipurpose room, food service area, and restrooms. Installation of solid fencing is planned around the perimeter of CVLCC High to separate the high school campus from the elementary school campus. After a six-month review process (this involved District architect Ruhnau Ruhnau Clarke; the Division of....

Only a fence between them
CVsincethe70s -- Nasty personal attacks written under assumed names immediately discredit arguments, you should refrain from that practice. I guess you're suggesting that the people who attended this Silver Wing meeting are lying and they were informed of the progress of the high school plans? And the principal and Tessier apologized for "dropping the ball" because the Silver Wing community had been involved in the process -- that's just a **union** fabrication? What's up with putting unions down or union supported candidates down? (You might recall Tamayo was not supported by the union.) As I have commented before, thousands of people belong to unions by choice. Prior to being elected as state assemblywoman, Lorena Gonzalez was the CEO and secretary-treasurer of the San Diego-Imperial County Labor Council. People voted for her because of that, not in spite of that. Finally, unions don't bargain the existence of charter schools in districts nor their locations. Please no red herrings in your arguments.

Ruby Zamora-Baker, I looked on CVESD's website and did not see an announcement of a February 26 board meeting. Can you tell me where to find the announcement? If it's true, I hope Mr. Tessier has notified the parents from Silver Wing, as he said he would. I notice on CVLCC's website they cancelled their board meeting so everyone would attend the last board meeting that was to consider approving the high school demolition/construction fees.

Alex, district elections appear to have been a boon to Sweetwater. The city of Chula Vista is in the process of drawing up boundaries. There are arguments for and against district elections, but it's one approach to dealing with intransigent problems.

Rosa Surber, thank you for weighing in. If a picture can tell a story, the picture that goes with this article tells the story of the determination of the Silver Wing families to have their voices heard. There was a large group of people even though it was short notice and, for some, a religious holiday. I tried to find a notice for the meeting on the district website or on the school website or on the district twitter site, but there was none.

ronh, Thanks for the correction. The difficulty in portraying for the reader the location of the school is that it is part of the Chula Vista School District.
— February 22, 2015 8:40 a.m.
Only a fence between them
Jessica, thank you for responding. You ask if I interviewed someone from CVLCC and you suggest the article is one-sided. The two presenters represented CVLCC and half the article is given to their quotes. The principal was clearly in favor of the construction of the high school and her ideas are in the article. Mr. Tessier was specifically was there to represent a project that he and the administration have supported for several years. In addition, several people have emailed me through the Reader website and told me that Tessier's wife is a CVLCC administrator, one can also find that information on a CVLCC website. So I think we can safely assume that CVLCC was represented in the point of view imparted by Mr. Tessier. More importantly, the article was not really about CVLCC. It was about the meeting that took place with the Silver Wing parents and community. The subject of this article is the that meeting which was called because the school board felt that the district had not allowed for public input on a development that would have an immediate effect on Silver Wing families and their children’s education or their built environment. I also have to assume that if three board members want to hear from the Silver Wing community, a community that has not been allowed input until late in the process, then the emphasis should obviously on their words.

Transparent as mud in Chula Vista
SJ Torres, Speaking of disclosure, it's time for you to at least disclose your name. I do wish in the future you would read before you comment. Neither this article nor the previous one attacks charters; rather the articles give the specifics about a specific problem with one charter wishing to occupy an elementary school campus. And whoever is feeding you this misinformation about my family members, has an agenda, just like you do.— March 3, 2015 9:42 a.m.

Reader2 , All five of the elementary school board members voted for the construction bids.— March 3, 2015 7:44 a.m.

Mr Hides Behind the Mask Torres, Your post is inaccurate, love to count the ways but gotta run and spend the kickback my **union bosses** gave me... Your epithets are curiously archaic, are you from the 1920's?— February 27, 2015 2:40 p.m.

mystyinsandiego, thanks for the notice of the meeting. I just looked up the agenda and there are several cvlcc/silver wing items on the agenda for tomorrow evening. One section looks just like the posting earlier today from cv70s: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On May 8, 2012, the Board approved the Chula Vista Learning Community Charter (CVLCC) petition for the period of July 2012 through June 2017. Included in the charter petition was the integration of Grades 9 through 12. CVLCC Grade 9 students were housed in facilities at Silver Wing Elementary for the 2012-13 school year as District staff and CVLCC administration discussed options for a permanent location for the charter high school. With planning and discussions continuing and the need to accommodate students in Grades 9 and 10 for the 2013-14 school year, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2012-13.58 for the purchase of two 48' x 40' relocatable classroom buildings and one 12' x 40' relocatable restroom building to be placed at Silver Wing for CVLCC paid by CVLCC. Subsequently, based on parent and charter school community support, the decision was made to permanently house CVLCC High at Silver Wing. Also in 2013-14, CVLCC decided to proceed with plans to purchase a 132' x 40' two-story facility that would consist of seven additional classrooms, a multipurpose room, food service area, and restrooms. Installation of solid fencing is planned around the perimeter of CVLCC High to separate the high school campus from the elementary school campus. After a six-month review process (this involved District architect Ruhnau Ruhnau Clarke; the Division of....— February 25, 2015 8:25 p.m.

CVsincethe70s -- Nasty personal attacks written under assumed names immediately discredit arguments, you should refrain from that practice. I guess you're suggesting that the people who attended this Silver Wing meeting are lying and they were informed of the progress of the high school plans? And the principal and Tessier apologized for "dropping the ball" because the Silver Wing community had been involved in the process -- that's just a **union** fabrication? What's up with putting unions down or union supported candidates down? (You might recall Tamayo was not supported by the union.) As I have commented before, thousands of people belong to unions by choice. Prior to being elected as state assemblywoman, Lorena Gonzalez was the CEO and secretary-treasurer of the San Diego-Imperial County Labor Council. People voted for her because of that, not in spite of that. Finally, unions don't bargain the existence of charter schools in districts nor their locations. Please no red herrings in your arguments.— February 25, 2015 12:27 p.m.

Ruby Zamora-Baker, I looked on CVESD's website and did not see an announcement of a February 26 board meeting. Can you tell me where to find the announcement? If it's true, I hope Mr. Tessier has notified the parents from Silver Wing, as he said he would. I notice on CVLCC's website they cancelled their board meeting so everyone would attend the last board meeting that was to consider approving the high school demolition/construction fees.— February 25, 2015 8:51 a.m.

Alex, district elections appear to have been a boon to Sweetwater. The city of Chula Vista is in the process of drawing up boundaries. There are arguments for and against district elections, but it's one approach to dealing with intransigent problems.— February 22, 2015 8:54 a.m.

Rosa Surber, thank you for weighing in. If a picture can tell a story, the picture that goes with this article tells the story of the determination of the Silver Wing families to have their voices heard. There was a large group of people even though it was short notice and, for some, a religious holiday. I tried to find a notice for the meeting on the district website or on the school website or on the district twitter site, but there was none.— February 22, 2015 8:51 a.m.

ronh, Thanks for the correction. The difficulty in portraying for the reader the location of the school is that it is part of the Chula Vista School District.— February 22, 2015 8:40 a.m.

Jessica, thank you for responding. You ask if I interviewed someone from CVLCC and you suggest the article is one-sided. The two presenters represented CVLCC and half the article is given to their quotes. The principal was clearly in favor of the construction of the high school and her ideas are in the article. Mr. Tessier was specifically was there to represent a project that he and the administration have supported for several years. In addition, several people have emailed me through the Reader website and told me that Tessier's wife is a CVLCC administrator, one can also find that information on a CVLCC website. So I think we can safely assume that CVLCC was represented in the point of view imparted by Mr. Tessier. More importantly, the article was not really about CVLCC. It was about the meeting that took place with the Silver Wing parents and community. The subject of this article is the that meeting which was called because the school board felt that the district had not allowed for public input on a development that would have an immediate effect on Silver Wing families and their children’s education or their built environment. I also have to assume that if three board members want to hear from the Silver Wing community, a community that has not been allowed input until late in the process, then the emphasis should obviously on their words.— February 22, 2015 8:37 a.m.
