CTA* says documents might not
exist anymore.
Just How
Cynical is
CTA?
The San Diego Union
Tribune reports that
Brooklyn Elementary
School in San Diego,
which is moving to a
new facility about a
half mile away, is

"one of those rare
urban schools that
can boast a stable
faculty and rising test
scores, despite...a
largely
underprivileged
student population...

"Brooklyn teachers
have forged such
close ties with
parents that they
make home visits and
on occasion have
provided clothing and
food to poor families.
 

"But this tight-knit
staff may be
dispersed come July
because of union
rules that say that
teachers with the
most seniority get
first dibs on jobs at
new schools...

"The teachers union
denied that it failed
to inform its
members...saying its
representatives have
met several times
with Brooklyn
teachers regarding
the move...The union
has declined the
Brooklyn teachers'
request to waive the
contract provision.."

School board
member Luis Acle
said that the union
should "put children's
interests above adult
interests."

Do you believe
Gina Boyd's story
about how the
notes
disappeared?  

Or do you think
this is perjury?

PRESIDENT GINA BOYD CLAIMS SHE EITHER
ACCIDENTALLY THREW AWAY OR LOST
her notes of a critical
meeting at which CVESD Asst. Superintendent Richard Werlin placed Maura
Larkins on administrative leave.  On Feb. 12, 2006, Werlin said two
teachers were afraid Maura Larkins would kill them.  
 
SOON AFTER, WERLIN CHANGED HIS STORY.
Two months later, GINA BOYD ADMITTED THAT WERLIN CHANGED HIS
STORY about two teachers calling him on Feb 10, 2001.  Boyd told Maura
Larkins that meeting notes proved this, since her notes stated,
"THEY FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES."
WERLIN NOW CLAIMS THAT ONLY ONE TEACHER HAD
CALLED HIM.  BOYD WENT ALONG WITH THE NEW STORY.

Boyd changed her own story to agree with Werlin, and CAME UP WITH THE
STORY that she had either accidentally thrown away her notes of the
meeting, or her lawyer had lost them.
