Sweetwater Union and Chula Vista Elementary districts to merge?
I'm really suspicious about the timing and motivations behind this proposal because it follows the current education policy coming directly out of Washington DC. Where did Mary Salas get this idea? Would Libby Gil, the former Superintendent of CVESD and current employee of the USDOE, have any connection to this? Did Arne Duncan throw out this "suggestion"? I ask because this proposal is directly in line with Louis V. Gerstner Jr.'s proposal to eliminate 15,000 school boards across the United States ("Lessons From 40 Years of Education 'Reform': Let's abolish local school districts and finally adopt national standards.." Wall Street Journal, December 1, 2008.) Isn't it odd that Republican John McCann supports the education deform plan laid out by President Obama's education adviser? Democrat or Republican, career politicians do not answer to the people; they are well aware of who butters their bread. Read what Diane Ravitch has to say about this proposal: http://www.forbes.com/2008/12/01/gerstner-schools…— February 9, 2014 5:28 p.m.
