FERPA HEARING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC – TOMORROW April 11th at 9am PACIFIC time.
The Irvine Unified Board School Board IGNORED the fact that Timothy Tatum, Director of Student Services violated policies and the law by hiring the “hearing officer” on a verbal contract without
authority, and providing private student information WITHOUT consent. The “hearing officer” Gary Geren, has refused to step down despite admitting to violating a parent’s right to a pubic hearing previously, and attempting to violate MY rights. Timothy Tatum and Gary Geren both
ignored my peremptory challenge.
Since the IUSD Board approved the contract for the "hearing officer" retroactively, they are attempting to cover up those violations of law and are pushing forward with this sham hearing TOMORROW – giving me NO TIME to prepare.
MORENO VALLEY, Calif. - The @MorenoValleyUSD Board of Education voted Tuesday to fire its superintendent effective immediately.
@DrKedziora has served as the superintendent since 2017.
"I would like to thank Dr. Kedziora for his years of service to the Moreno Valley Unified
School District," said School Board President Susan Smith. "He has exhibited a real love for the students and families of our district. Occasionally there comes a time when institutions such as school districts need to make a change in direction. That time has come for us here at
Moreno Valley. We know that everyone will continue to do their best to meet all of the needs of our students and families."
The board said due to "privacy and confidentiality laws" it can not disclose details on Dr. Kedziora's termination.
Parents be on alert! Districts are trying to take custody of your child with special needs!
School districts like @CJUHSD and the @AltaLomaSD are using the legal system to intimidate parents into silence about their child’s educational rights. The law firm of choice is @F3Law
who has filed multiple legal actions against parents to remove the parent as the child’s guardian. Please private message if you would like to read the entire Court order which, goes into detail about how FFF filed a Motion to exclude the parent from making legal decisions about
their child with autism. AFTER the school district had agreed to settle the case, according to the order:
“Defendant filed an opposition to the motion for settlement approval”
Thankfully, FFF failed in their attempt to remove the parent as the Guardian for a student who
Don English, man @CJUHSD appointed to fill Area 2 school board seat for the last year -- appears to have substantial conflict of interests. English is employed by @SBCo_Supt_Ted, therefore students, special ed and regular, who are expelled from @CJUHSD Board are sent for appeals
to SB County and guess who is involved in this student's appeal process -- Don English again.
POST FROM "STAND UP SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY"
Don English is involved in lawsuit filed against San Bernardino County by @ColtonJUSD for violating student privacy during expulsion hearing
process.
Don English was appointed to the @CJUHSD board and is running to be elected this election. He is also an employee of the @SBCo_Supt_Ted. Per this court document under #17 it states “According to Mr. English, the appeal was accepted because A.V. and A.V.’s guardians did
I attended #WESELPA's Propaganda Fest at @CentralSD this past Thursday entitled: "Building Positive Relationships with Your School Community" - a training for parents led by Program Manager Anthony Farenga. It's was very troubling and just another way that the schools
think they own our children. I saw this in their core beliefs where Core Belief #1 was "teachers and parents have dreams for their students". I'm sorry but no teacher gets to dream about my child. They have no claim to their life and future. They need to focus on teaching them to
read, write and do math. Another Core Belief was "Families and Staff are equal partners". I at least wish this were true in the IEP meeting as it's supposed to be but it's not. School Admin bully parents and refuse to provide services that will actually benefit students with
URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Stop the Government from Silencing YOU!
