Dear Trustees;
I would like to say from the start of this letter that
it is not my goal or desire to say anything that would
be rude or un-kind to you, to the community that is
represented by the Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School
District, the folks that worked so hard to bring forth
the Bond Measure AA as well as those that worked to
defeat Bond Measure AA. I am writing this letter as an
Open Letter not only for your benefit, but also to the
benefit of all of the folks that I have talked about
earlier.
My log shows that I arrived at the special school board
meeting that was called for Last night, Monday,
November 24, 2003 at 6:37 PM. Gail and I stayed until
the very end of the school board meeting. We departed
around midnight. When Gail, my wife and I arrived at the
Meadowlark School in Acton, we found that the parking
lot around the school was full with cars as well as
about a block in every direction, including the dirt
"lot" across the entrance from the driveway where
apparently a great many people hard parked and I might
say, done an excellent job to be able to fit the
maximum number of vehicles.
In your website address of:
[http://aadusd.k12.ca.us/board.htm]
You state the following:
"The Board
The Board of Trustees represents the people of the
Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District as the elected
body created to determine, establish, and uphold the
educational policies of the District. In this capacity,
the Board functions under the laws of the State of
California but is free to plan for an educational
program tailored to both the needs of the communities
served."
You also state:
"Mission Statement
The Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District is
dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing learning
environment through which all students are challenged
to achieve their individual maximum growth
academically, socially, physically, and intellectually
in order to become productive citizens in our American
democracy.
Addressing the Board
There are different ways individuals may choose to
address the Board. Those who wish to request an agenda
item may do so by submitting in writing to the
Superintendent, with supporting documents and
information, a request at least eight school days prior
to a scheduled meeting date. For matters not on the
agenda, there is an opportunity for individuals to
address the Board when the Board President requests
comments from the public. The Board shall not take
action on such items at that meeting. Those wishing to
address agenda items may do so if and when recoginized
by the Board President after filling out the "yellow
request card" provided at the meeting."
During my 12 minute 3 second presentation before the
Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District board during
last night's special meeting called for the discussion
about the closure, consolidation, reduction of school
campuses within the District, I publicly thanked you
for the time that you took to speak to me last Friday,
November 21, 2003.
Thank you again for taking the time to speak with me
even though I just stopped by for my about 20 minute
visit without an appointment.
Thank you for making the effort to attempt to fax to
our political organization Citizens For A Better
America ® with the acronym and website of (CFABA.ORG)
the minutes for the last board meeting. I guess you
and I and the entire assembly of those there as many as
550 people, by my calculation found out from the Board
President, Mr. Martin Barofsky that those minutes are
not available.
As I shared during my presentation this Board has not
placed on your Internet website address located at:
[http://aadusd.k12.ca.us/minutes.htm] any
minutes since
November 9, 2000 as of today. I would like to formally
request them from you, the Board
01. Any and all minutes since November 9, 2000.
02. Any and all budgets since it became a Unified
School District.
03. Any and all minutes from the time it became a
Unified School District until October 28, 1999.
04. The tape recording of last night's, meeting. That
was apparently being tape recorded behind the
board.
I have made this an Open Letter because as I said
during my presentation before the board, I believe that
it is a bad policy to not have these minutes on your
Internet website. I also believe that other within the
community of the Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School
District may also wish to view and read these minutes
and budget. As I also said during my remarks I believe
that I believe it is a bad policy to not do everything
possible to not look like it is hiding something, etc.
It is my hope and desire that your boss, Dr. Don
Banderas, Superintendent or the Board for that matter
does not put up an obstacle to the quick delivery of
these documents. I will give you a call to make sure
that you have received this Open Letter. Please call
CFABA.ORG's voice mail 24/7 at (818)757-1776 to let me
know when I can pick up these documents. It is also my
hope that the Superintendent or the current Board does
not force me to formally demand the above documents.
My hope, desire and goal is to have the above mentioned
documents no later than this week so that I can have
the time to be able to put forth a presentation, if I
chose to do so before the next scheduled open board
meeting, for Monday, December 01, 20 03 at 7:00 PM.
If your district decides to put the above document on
your website for the entire community of the Acton-Agua
Dulce Unified School District to be able to have access
to as well, that will be just fine with me, just let me
know where I can access that information on your
Internet website and I would be happy to do so.
Again, I would like to thank you for the time you took
to speak to me, your kindness and graciousness. It
appears to me that you are a tremendous asset to this
district.
Sincerely,
Robert Colaco
