DEAR EDITOR:

When I moved to Gilroy I was impressed with the high school campus and that is where my favorable impression ended. I found the administration at the high school totally lacking in interest of meeting student’s needs.

Around that time, Gilroy was found to be one of the only districts in California that had not prepared their senior class to meet the state mandated course completions. After talking to Sacramento about the situation, I met with one administrator and found him less than truthful at best. He stated he was not part of the decision that caused the situation when in fact he was the head of that committee that made the decision that put us in that situation.

I also feel very fortunate that my daughter left teaching here when they were also less truthful with her.

Not knowing anything about the performance of the last teacher to be let go I will not speak regarding that – but anyone with a clue to personnel management would be utterly appalled the way this was handled. Also, for someone to say they are not interested in reviewing this shows a lack of intelligent concern in what is really going on here. I guess you would call that blind faith or a lack of concern again to find the truth.

Congratulations on the improvement that English as a second language classes have made over the last year. It is interesting that the general public had to tell the professionals that immersion would work best.

I think we need some major changes here – and as we look at budget cuts, let’s start at the district office and not with the ones who actually handle our students. Their education and safety to, from school and in school should be our top concern.
