Like Rafaela Gomez?!?!? Perhaps the BOE should do a better job of inquiring thoroughlyand that might mean asking additional staff!!! Hello???? I've said this before on the site and I will say it again staff lies staff lies staff lies hello hello??they are no better than the lobbyists in Washington! Here's another thought how about you ask someone who doesn't have anything to gain or lose by telling the truth! We're not talking rocket science here all were saying it was how about making an informed decision! Can the BOE not choose who and what to ask?Ugh!!!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-22913818166027037912015-06-07T10:52:26.598-05:002015-06-07T10:52:26.598-05:00So true!!!

Since when has law, rule, policy or even Robert's Rules of Order stopped the Board from doing whatever they want to do? You have no contract with Brandt yet have allegedly paid him millions over the past two years and SOMEONE has been authorizing him to act on your behalf. When elected Board Members have asked "why?" and/or "how?" they are ignored or attempts are made to throw them out of the meeting. So what's going on with almost $5 million as a line item for legal fees?Questionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-69541808409581291002015-06-07T02:56:42.846-05:002015-06-07T02:56:42.846-05:00There was no Board vote on this matter. However, a...There was no Board vote on this matter. However, at the 1st budget wprkshop Art Cavazos gave a presentation on facilities master planning and this issue was included. He told the Board in a roundabout way that he felt these programs should not be merged. Linares said "Art wants a new building for technology and indicated she had told him to forget about that! Some people from DAEP had a presentation on how they were going to combine the 2 programs in the one facility, but they never even got to present it.There insued a discussion among the Board, including a particularly impassioned speech by Mr. Ramos against combining them. The Board then instructed staff to look for another place, even if it means purchasing something that can be converted into office and equipment space for technology. There was no vote on the matter as this was a workshop meeting and no actions could be voled on. You should look to see a vote at some point in the not too distant future for a purchase of space for this purpose. Basically, Mr. Cavazos said there was going to be an increasing need for classroom space as we move forward and he did not see the wisdom in converting space that had already been converted from offices to classrooms back into offices. I agree with him and the Board did also. As I said, they never even looked at the plans for conversion.Pay attention to workshopsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209683300733953746.post-41629163864301201392015-06-05T14:11:19.794-05:002015-06-05T14:11:19.794-05:00Let's keep an eye out folks, as one comment sa...Let's keep an eye out folks, as one comment said, they have done this before.
