Roosevelt teachers revolt against Mayor Villar's "Partnership in Education"

"80 FAKE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCHES"

MEET

“93 percent of Teachers at Roosevelt don’t have confidence in the Mayor’s Partnership,”

These partial transcripts from 89.3 KPCC were send from a CD 14 reader.

Teachers at one of the 10 public schools run by L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's nonprofit say they're unhappy with the progress of change. KPCC's Adolfo Guzman-Lopez says those teachers are threatening to leave the mayor's partnership if promised changes don't happen.

Partnership for Los Angeles Schools

Adolfo Guzman-Lopez: Roosevelt High School teacher Mario Hurtado voted to hand over governance of his campus to Villaraigosa's Partnership for L.A. Schools. Hurtado said the mayor pledged reforms, extra money, and teacher say in decisionmaking. He said that almost a year and a half later:

Mario Hurtado: I'd say we're the same. I don't think we've noticed any change. And that's the problem.

Guzman-Lopez: Hurtado and a majority of Roosevelt High teachers approved a vote of no confidence earlier this week. Hurtado and others said teachers had no role in restructuring Roosevelt into seven learning academies. More money and new equipment haven't materialized, teachers said.

Yards away, the Partnership's chief operations officer Mark Kleger-Heine heard the criticism. He said the schools' been given more than $200,000 from the mayor's fundraising efforts. When it comes to hearing teachers' ideas, he suggested that the partnership is changing its ways.

Mark Kleger-Heine: Change is a multiyear process and this is the beginning part of change. And so as that happens you learn to work with your partners and you learn to calibrate and work together.

Guzman-Lopez: Roosevelt High teachers asked immigrant rights advocate Juan Jose Gutierrez to join them. Gutierrez said Roosevelt High indicates that not enough people hold Mayor Villaraigosa and other Latino politicians accountable to their promises.

Juan Jose Gutierrez: All these people are our friends, the mayor is my friend, and I'm down, we all know each other, we went to the same schools, we're in talking terms with each other. But the buck has to stop somewhere.

Guzman-Lopez: A spokeswoman said the mayor and Roosevelt High teachers are struggling for the same thing – the improvement of public schools.

Villar and Feinstein to push for Foreclosure Bailout

Hi boys and girls, do any of your parents need a bailout??

At 10:30 AM on the steps of City Hall, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Senator Diane Feinstein will call for government intervention in the "MARKET CORRECTION" that is the false crisis involving the Sub-prime mortgage industry.

Lets be candid Mayor Villaraigosa and Senator Feinstein are not being influence by the sob stories of people who fail to read the small print on signed documents.

What the likes of Villaraigosa and Feinstein are most concern about here is the constant flow of property tax revenue that goes to feed the "beast" known as big government.

If any one government entity is responsible for the Sub-prime correction, then lets blame governmental philosophy that reinforces the concept of victim hood and not accountability for one's own actions.

LA Times: "California Freefall" Housing prices fall 25%. Market correction creates affordable housing.

SIDEBAR:

Wonder if any reporters on hand today at City Hall will ask Villaraigosa and Feinstein to comment on "MRS BILL CLINTON'S" war stories from Bosnia. With Ace and Mike working on the campaign one would have to wonder if they had a hand in creating "80 FAKE SNIPERS IN BOSNIA".
