[Editor’s Note: In a note appended to her letter regarding last evening’s School Board meeting, the president of United Parents of Culver City said that parents representing numerous schools petitioned the Board “to move forward” on the temporarily delayed bond measure. She mentioned Jamie Wallace, Leslie Brazille, Angela Dyborn, Crystal Alexander, and a note from Paul Walsleben.]
[img]1994|right|Jeannine Wisnosky Stehlin||no_popup[/img]It was wonderful to see parents from different school sites at the board meeting last night. There were parents from CCHS, CCMS, El Rincon, Linwood E. Howe, El Marino, Farragut and La Ballona. They spoke eloquently and thoughtfully about why they encourage the School Board to move forward on the facilities bond.
We are all here for the students. The students’ minds, health, safety and welfare should remain our No. 1 priority. Culver City students, teachers and staff deserve to study, eat, think, breathe, exercise and work in facilities that are worthy of their collective excellence.
I think that we can all agree that our schools are in urgent need of repair.
I'm looking forward to attending the Capital Projects/Master Facility Planning Work Study next Tuesday, and I hope that parents, teachers, grandparents, Culver City seniors, friends and neighbors will be there too.
I know that the School District staff and Supt. Dave LaRose have been working hard to make sure that people will get the information they need to understand why we need a bond, how it works, and why Culver citizens will vote for it. If we work together, we can move ahead and pass a facilities bond, hopefully in June 2014.
