February 21, 2008 marks the first potential date that an appeal to the County Board of Education would occur. The Valley Oak Charter School proponents are asking the public write in to the board in order request that they approve a Valley Oak Charter School.
Send the letter to County Superintendent of Schools Jorge Ayala and all five of the board members. Residents of Yolo County only vote for one of the board members. They vote by district. The district numbers correspond with the County Supervisor districts. Thus Davis residents would either be represented by Davis Campbell (District 2) or Joseph Thomson (District 4). However, since all members will vote, it is recommended that all five members of the board be emailed the letter.
Valley Oak March Thursday at 5:30 PM
Valley Oak Elementary School to the District Offices at B Street
5:30pm~ Line up at Valley Oak
6:00pm~ Walk to the Board Meeting
7:00pm~ School Board Meeting Begins
Bring flash lights and jackets.
Also it might be a good idea to leave a car (van) near the District Offices and one at Valley Oak.
Please help and carpool on the way back.
Make signs and wear Valley Oak shirts.
No matter how you feel about this issue, come and support the children of Davis!!
Children and Adults:
Remember to respect others and their views!
Valley Oak Charter is still very much alive!!!
Why Join the Walk
· The law states five reasons for denying a charter and the district’s budget is not one of them. One Board member stressed that the law should be changed, revealing a lack of understanding for why the law was written.
· While planning our appeal and talking to the County School Board, we were informed that our Charter has not yet been denied and the attorney for the district also plays a roll with the County School Board and he will need to be replaced during the charter appeal, due to conflict of interest.
· The Charter is on the Davis School Board Agenda for Thursday, February 7th, 2008, to be denied due to its educational plan. News to us! It turns out that only the resolution of the charter application that the Superintendent and the Charter worked on was denied.
· We plan to submit our appeal to the County School Board Friday, February 8th, 2008.

School District Staff giving out disinformation about the Charter School; School Board denies charter for illegal reason -because of fiscal impact on school district; School Board delays process by any means possible; School District hires attorney with potential conflict of interest; … Getting the picture??? If the School Board can’t defeat the Charter proponents on the merits, then what? Their answer is to pull out all stops and use every dirty trick in the book? Is this how we are teaching our children to behave? What an awful example our School Board is setting – and how demeaning to our community!

“It turns out that only the resolution of the charter application that the Superintendent and the Charter worked on was denied.”
So…Is our Board planning to claim that there is REALLY no grounds for approving the County appeal since they only denied Hammond’s negotiated charter and have not YET denied the Charter petition? Will they then return it to Hammond for further negotiations(stalling) on Thursday?? How long are we going to tolerate these yahoos polluting our fair city’s reputation. Is it time for some “direct action”?

Unlike the Tandem property folks, you wouldn’t be telling people how to respond/communicate to the County Bd of Ed with that “sample letter” now would you? Didn’t think so …

I guess I’m in the group that sees no similarity between a sample letter and explicit instructions on how to mark a public form in order to get a development approved.

You don’t see any similarities to offering a SAMPLE letter to the letter that Tandem Properties showed people because there is NO similarity whatsoever. Providing a sample letter, what many organizations do, and explicitly telling people how to vote, are two totally different things.
Anyone saying that they don’t see the difference is simply lying to themselves. You know the old addage: Ignorance is bliss.
