Roosevelt High School parents rebelling against Mayor Villar's Education Partnership
A Mayor Villar "Double-Speak Moment": “I’m being honest and telling it to your face”.
The photo above of a "rotund" Mayor Antonio Villar was taken in the recent past at a Boyle Heights Townhall that became a tense "give and take" between Mayor Villar and teachers from Roosevelt High School, who had voted 93-7% to express no confidence in the Mayor's "Partnership in Education Initiative" at the Boyle Heights campus. Last Saturday, parents from Roosevelt convene a meeting to discuss the facts about the progress of Mayor Villar's "Partnership in Education" and by judging from RPI scores and other benchmarks, progress is anemic at best. After the jump, you can read a fact sheet on the state of education at Roosevelt under Mayor and former student, Villar.

WELL TONY'S TRYING SOMETHING NOT MUCH TO GET EXCITED OVER. REAL REFORM WILL INVOLVE PARENTS,TEACHERS,STUDENTS AND INDUSTRY. THE FOUNDATION OF REAL EDUCATION INSENTIVE.
Today, April 24, 2012 six months later, what have been done to improve education at Roosevelt High School, instead Parents with special need students have been ban from the school. Maybe the schools should have a compliance officer to guide them, they need to understand the California laws for children with disabilities and Special needs.
I ask our Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa to investigate the claimes that parents are voicing, specially the drop in education level alone in one out of seven school that drop 85 points, overall the schools have not progress at a acceptable pace in five years. one or two points is not progress.
I urge the Mayor to terminate the partnership, he tried, yet this PLAS does not have the background in experience or instructional method to improve the schools.
The only accomplishments that they can claim is creating confusion for the parents and students, and dividing the parents advocates, banding parents of Special needs, and more.
If anyone can take this white elephant from us is the Mayor.
Can the Mayor Villar admit that this partnership with Roosevelt High Schol, LA, and seven schools created has not worked, and call for restructure of a better plan.
In five years one and two point increase is not progress, one of the seven schools drop 85 points, that is criminal, the princiapl still there and getting paid.
Mayor Villar is your call to really represent this parents and students.
