I am a teacher who lives in Clayton and I do not need MDEA to tell me Ms. Treece has been a do nothing for our community. I love it when people say she has done so much in the business community. What has she done for elementary schools, specifically Mt Diablo Elementary?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458983694008388961.post-48306335886880870672008-09-15T19:07:00.000-07:002008-09-15T19:07:00.000-07:00I agree with Mister Writer we need fresh views and...I agree with Mister Writer we need fresh views and Eberhart and Whitmarsh provide those.

Those requirements would have been 2 years of technical/vocational training in order to graduate. Our students are already bogged down with graduation requirements and adding to it would NOT have been good for our students. Nor would it have been good (financially) for our education system. Requiring more programs requires more money. Plus, our schools already have voc ed programs in the form of ROP. That's not to say that students wouldn't benefit from having more options--they need more options. Just not in the form of requirements.<BR/><BR/>Moon left out the best part in her commentary. The reason that MDEA did not endorse April Treece is because Ms. Treece's vision of the district is different than MDEA's vision. While April feels that our students are being served, MDEA feels that our students are not being served. When MDEA screamed that it's not good for our students when great teachers are leaving, Treece said there was no money in the budget. When over 95% of teachers voted No Confidence in the Superintendent, Gary McHenry, Treece continued to support McHenry.<BR/><BR/>A school district is not just about the students. A school district is also about the teachers. Besides the fact that happy teachers make happy students, teachers are members of community, vote in the community, have children in the community, pay taxes in the community, spend money in the community, etc. So when a Board Member does not listen and heed the majority of teachers in the district, that Board Member is not doing their elected job.<BR/><BR/>Vote Sherry and Gary for School Board in November!Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367595861009447234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458983694008388961.post-39882105245055743622008-09-13T10:11:00.000-07:002008-09-13T10:11:00.000-07:00When I see people say that Treece supports Industr...When I see people say that Treece supports Industry partnerships to build support and broad opportunities for all students in CCC, I have to stop them and point out. That is her job! Her paid position. She does that for a living. Will that stop when she's hopefully not elected? What's more important is to look at how she votes at board meetings research that. Get the minutes of the past five years from board meetings. That will be enough to tell you she needs to go. Another FYI Gary Eberhart was originally the one who was the lead board member for Career Integrated Academics. He pushed for this for years. Then Treece got a job with the Contra Costa Economic Partnership and suddenly she became a CIA advocate.
