Ravenswood, KIPP consider keeping charter at current site

Original post made on Mar 15, 2019

The Ravenswood City School District and KIPP Valiant Community Prep have agreed to examine a new proposal for how to accommodate the growing charter school next year: providing additional space at its current site rather than splitting it across two campuses.

Hmmm, I thought Gloria and Eichman CBO said that there was not space at Brentwood/MacNair? Where they lying? Were they really retaliating against Belle Haven Parents for protesting for the removal of Todd Gaviglio. The supper really have something against him no doubt.

All of a sudden Steve Eichman (CBO)and acting superintendent agreed that there is enough space to accommodate KIPP at the same site. I Remember Gloria and Eichman saying that there was no room for KIPP to expand at the same site, and Pulido insisted that Belle Haven and Willow Oaks was the place for them to go. Now that the bad apple has been removed, Eithman finds out that there is room, and Pulido stops saying that Belle Haven or Willow is the place for KiPP to go.Glad one of the bad apples are out. We still have to very rotten apples.
In regards to:
Kaye (probably meant to say Kate) also expressed concern that the district's proposed pro-rata share of Ravenswood's total facilities costs for KIPP has gone up significantly, to about $1 million. This accounts for about one-fifth of the district's total facilities budget, which is "disproportionate" to the amount of space KIPP occupies, Kaye wrote.

This proves that Mr. Eichman is not good at Math, I am wonder how many more mistakes has he made and nobody has caught them. If he messes up like this when it comes to the budget the district is in big trouble. Hope they go for the full audit. This will be the right thing to do to see how things really are. Hope that no more corruption is allowed and that the majority of the board members who vote to get Gloria out, continue to look for signs of corruption and stop it right away, otherwise in no time things will be the same.
