The Special Meeting
It appear the special meeting is STILL in session. KVIA in El Paso covered it. The comments by Diaz are interesting.
From www.KVIA.com
"Sometimes in order to create positive change, you have to create conflict...and when you shake individuals, there's a sense of moving out of the comfort zone..but it's hard for certain individuals...we're trying to work with our staff here. We're trying to work to impose on people the notion of it's about serving the schools."
As for the blog postings, Dr. Diaz says she takes all criticism seriously, but that it's possible it's only one or two people posting their own frustrations on the site. "
Well, I guess the only way to prove to Diaz that there are more than one or two making comments is to show up at the Nov. 28 Board Meeting. This blogger has written very little since this blog was created. The readers are the writers.

With reference to the contract for "she who will remain nameless", the Sun News could certainly request a copy since school contracts and payment are all public information.
As to the fears that email accounts may be reviewed, this would pertain to anything going through the LCPS email system. All staff members sign an Acceptable Use Policy agreement and this does include a statement that use of district computing resources must be in support of the district's educational goals and objectives. I suspect that blogging about Lady Voldemort would NOT fall in this approved category.
If the district has not blocked access to all blogspot addresses, it is just a matter of time. Readers of the posting might also want to use their home computers since the web "surfing" history of every school owned computer can be monitored and accessed remotely. While this would be impractical to do for some employees, it could be done easily for those targeted.
I just watched the KVIA news clip and Dr. Diaz claimed outright that the job give to Marsillio was advertised. Was it? Did I miss it? Cause I check the job openings almost daily and I didn't see it. I also did not see it in the LC Sun News. Did anyone else see it advertised? Also, did they interview the proper amount of candidates? I think she just bold faced lied.
How do you create a positive attitude by
treating people the way "she" does. Taking a phone
away from an employee while she is talking on it,
harassing the people. Warning people not to say
anything. Didn't she try to get one of the employee's
that was leaving to sign a paper not to say anything
or talk to anybody about the situation? I
would like to know the truth.
I am a concerned LCPS employee. This is my first post (i.e. I am not 1 or 2 frustrated people). November 28th is a date. Lack of effective leadership is a real issue here. I think that Ms. Diaz should share her 'vision' with the district and make herself accessible if she wants support. Obviously, her advanced degrees did not help her learn how to LEAD. As the saying goes, "Lead, follow, or get out the way."
Educating children is what the top priority should be - it is why most of us want to be in this field - not power plays.
I suggest we dismiss this Board, Dr. Diaz, Marsillio, DeStephano, Delgado and Talbot! Bring in Dr. Patton to truly heal our district, Jack Jenkins to fix the financial mess created since July and hope that General Laws will come back to our district.
How many lawsuits are pending against the district as a result of the above named individuals?
Has textbook money been allocated to the schools? I know that many of our elective and co-curricular programs depend on this money for workbooks and curriculum materials not included in the state textbook adopted list, but provided by 50-50 money.
PLEASE, someone that knows how to obtain the documentation through the "freedom of information act"- get it all from the school district. Do we need to contact the Secretary of Ed???
