I too wish we could vote Chuck Hoyack off the school board. Chuck has never been a leader, he once had a baseball team at Cochise where 50% of the baseball players were dismissed for un- specified reasons. Chuck was even accussed of giving passing grades to good baseball players. This is just an example of what a terrible leader he is. CHUCK MUST GO BEFORE HE RUINS THIS EVEN MORE !!! "

Larry, Moe, and Curly. It is nice that they wrote out had her practice reading the motions prior to the board meeting. I guess we still have open meeting violations. It is okay though. It is okay for Stevenson to still have parents exiting their kids from the ELD program. We wouldn't want the kids to be in a program with kids that don't know how to speak, write, or read in English. That wouldn't help them any. We have to maintain our status. Remove the principal at Stevenson, remove the assistant principal at Huber, perhaps remove teacher that had the bottle of alcohol and coke, and reinstate the principal. The principal from Clawson has enough to do with AIMS coming up instead of managing two schools. Ridiculous! "
