On December 19, 2007, at 7:00 PM, the Rocklin Unified School District will be holding a public hearing on whether to support a charter for the Western Sierra Collegiate Academy (WSCA). This charter school is a grade 7 - 12 Public School of Choice for Placer County.
In previous posts I have mentioned that the Rocklin School Board, led by Superintendent Kevin Brown and his 5 anti-charter school Rocklin School Board members, slick attorney, Todd Lowell, Steve Paul, the “Grand Poobah,” of the board, “deer in the headlights” Wendy Lang, the nice lady but very liberal Camille Maben, and “I am only a Republican when I need an endorsement,” Greg Daley. And lets not forget the California Teachers Association who pulls the strings of this school board. Over the last 2+ years, they have donated around $20,000 to keep school choice out of Rocklin.
December 19 should be a very interesting night. I have been told that Eric Hogue, a candidate for the 4th Assembly District, plans to be at the meeting and voice his support for school choice in Rocklin. Remember Mr. Hogue’s opposition in this race may be our current Assemblyman Ted “in my pocket” Gaines. Speaking of Gaines, will he show his face at this meeting? He was the individual that bragged that without his logistical support, the “slick attorney”, the “Grand Poobah,” and “deer in the headlights,” would of never been elected last year. One can say that Mr. Gaines helped eliminate school choice in Rocklin. There is a rumor that “in my pocket” was asked to be an advisor for the WSCA but never answered the letter. He must have been too busy collecting his $175/day per diem check. And this guy is thinking he wants to be a Congressman? Must be the per diem is higher in Washington. I have also been told that someone from Congressman Doolittle’s camp will be reading a prepared statement from the Congressman that will say he supports the high school charter. Even Democrat Charlie Brown will have a prepared statement read to the Rocklin School Board saying he supports parents right to school choice and the charter school. A Democrat that supports charter schools and school choice? I think that is great. I wonder where Eric Egland stands on this issue? Will he be at the meeting? If he believes in school choice, he will attend.
Maybe I should call the TV stations to tell them about this public hearing and how an Assembly candidate will be present, Congressional candidates will have prepared statements read, and our current Assemblyman Ted “in my pocket” Gaines will probably be missing in action because he is afraid to show up and face the public on this issue.
This is sure looking to be a very interesting night.
