How Culver City Differs from Other School Districts
[Editor’s Note: Reflections by School Board President Marla Wolkowitz following last week’s stormy Board meeting. Some 200 parents turned out, largely to protest the planned elimination of 2 1/2 kindergarten classes at three schools in the School District because of declining enrollment. Most protests were from parents and supporters of El Marino Language School.]
Crisis? People are clamoring to get into a program offered by the School District.
That's not a crisis. It’s an opportunity.
Activist Parent Invites School Families to Join up
Last week, an amazing community forum took place in the multi-purpose room of on the Culver City Middle School campus. More than 150 parents and community members attended a Q&A session that lasted over two hours. School District Supt. Dr. Myrna Rivera Coté and Asst. Supt. Dr. Diane Fiello discussed the why’s and how’s of our School District.
They answered questions ranging from the general operation of the District to the issuance of permits to non-residents.
Correcting a King Day Comment on Schools
During the course of last Sunday’s Martin Luther King Jr. program at the Senior Center, a question was asked regarding racism and treatment of students in the schools.
As I didn’t record the exact question, I am reacting to the answer given by Jose Ramon Montero. I admire Jose Ramon. My youngest son had him as his kindergarten teacher, and he worked with him as a Spanish student at Culver City High School as well. I also truly admire Jose Ramon’s efforts to bring the students to the very real understanding that they can make a difference, that nothing should stand in their way of making that difference. After absorbing the tools, Jose Ramon empowers them to incorporate the lessons into their very being. They WILL make a difference.
