The Latest

Tonight is the secret executive session meeting that GACS Bd. Pres. Bill Bush uses to discuss and decide school business. Do you think they will talk about...

1. Holding a special meeting for the public to talk about and answer questions about the investigation? When this blog started Bill Bush immediately ran to the teachers to talk about issues, but not the public or parents. Why? His sole support comes from one teacher and small click around her. Okay, so as we learned from the paper, it was mostly BS, but at least he talked to someone..sort of in public. He and the board have no support from the parents and community. They know they cannot justify their incompetence so they hide behind lawyers (welcome to the board) and board meeting rules (questions?...questions? We don't need to answer your stinking questions!). The way they treat and involve parents shows they do not give a rat's a** about the views and reactions of the parents and community. (Your two minutes are up. Shut up, sit down, go away.)

2. Resigning or taking action against ghost members. Ty Malone is a now a rumor. We think she exists, but no one has seen here since October. Where are the milk cartons? Both parent members will no longer have their children in the school next year. As long as Bill Bush and his patrons Marc Richards and Jerry Calone are still on the board, this blog will exist, there were will pubic scrutiny, outside agencies investigating, a strong presence at the CASD meetings, the truth will be told, and conflict and drama will continue...with school at serious risk of closure. It will more public, open, honest, embarrassing for the members and sad for the kids and parents who need this school to work for them. That is the future with this board. You can announce your resignation now with June being the last meeting. End of the year...new board in July. Clean. Simple.

3. Do we really want to put a personal friend of Bill Bush as the new principal? The leading candidate fits that description. Do you really want someone to protect lead teacher(s) and screw over CEO Mr. Gordon? Why else would an administrator come here unless they are personal friends with the board president and willing to do his bidding? If he does a good job, maybe he can work in Bill's charter school management company. Did any candidate do their research? Who would want the job unless a)they didn't do their research and don't know what they are getting into, b) know, but is really desperate for a job, or c) ready to be the puppet of Bill and his favorite lead teacher? First time he goes against them (especially her), bam, he will be the eighth administrator gone under Bill's reign. Any way you look at it, is that the person we want?

4. Why are teachers looking to leave? Luckily, it's not all of them. Only the good ones.

I'm sure they will have a lot to talk about...and decide...and we will never know.

Help On The Way??

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, it looks like our local state senator is leading the way for reform. Notice the last sentence of the article. We need to contact Mr. Dinniman to offer our support and let him know what is going on in his home district.

Daily Local Article

In Sunday's Daily Local, there was a followed up on the investigation. Some people commented that they didn't know what Graystone is doing wrong. Perhaps some of you can enlighten the readers. My guess is the Inquirer will have something soon as well.
