CCSD – What can you say?
It is, has been and continues to be a clown show. Highly paid HQ employees, underpaid teachers and staffs, and an education system that is near the bottom of 50 states.
they’re stupid if they take the conditional resignation. they should fire him and eliminate as much recovery as possible–depending on how contract is structured.
In recent times no one last as the Super. They can’t ask for his resignation and then try to stiff him. I think the union has succeeded in drumming him out. You can’t let the union run the school district. He was a strong Super and the new one will be much weaker.
He was a garbage super. Dramatically grew the admin bureaucracy and got his peepee slapped by the union, which is a crap organization, in the instance of the teachers raises, they were right.
He needs to go, in fact, he should have stayed fired from 2021.
The only scandal is his apparent tweet about the CCSA representative being a mistress. But as we have discussed on here many times in the context of defamation, be careful opening that Pandoras Box unless you are ready for someone to drive the discovery truck right into it (to mix up aa whole bunch of metaphors).
>The ruling upholds Democratic Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade’s announcement last August to disqualify the 10 lawmakers from the ballot under a measure aimed at stopping such boycotts. Measure 113, passed by voters in 2022, amended the state constitution to bar lawmakers from re-election if they have more than 10 unexcused absences.
>Last year’s boycott lasted six weeks – the longest in state history – and stalled hundreds of bills. Five lawmakers sued over the secretary of state’s decision – Sens. Tim Knopp, Daniel Bonham, Suzanne Weber, Dennis Linthicum and Lynn Findley. They were among the 10 GOP senators who racked up more than 10 absences.
Hate it. But I have to agree. You would think that these boycotters would have had legislative counsel issue an opinion on the effect of this “boycott”.
Part of the lawfare was the law u speak of. If people want to elect those with lot absences that should be ok. Every single thing is used on both sides. They all seek to divide us. Sorry I’m txt ng
The people of Oregon should think about further amending the state constitution to do away with the two-thirds quorum requirement for each house of the legislature to conduct business. Oregon is only one of 4 states with a two-thirds quorum requirement, and with it it gives a tiny minority effective veto power over the legislature. That’s crazy, and probably why the rest of the states require only a bare majority to achieve quorum (excepting Massachusetts, which requires less than a majority for quorum). The three other states are Texas, Indiana, and Tennessee. https://www.multistate.us/insider/2024/1/11/oregons-quorum-quagmire-only-four-states-have-two-thirds-quorum-requirements
Eff that. The more handcuffs on politicians (of whatever stripe) the better. Having a simple majority allows the party in control to run ripshod over the state.
Here is an idea. Get elected, go to fkg work and if that work is not passing or repealing laws because of gridlock, so much the better. The winner is the people.
So legislative terrorism (tyranny) of the minority. Got it. If you can’t command a majority, by what right does the minority get to obstruct and shut down public business?
Dude the underpinnings of that stretches from civil disobedience to conscientious objecting. YES protecting the minority right to gun up the works. Remember that old diary books the federalist papers

First the court took away hyperlinks in the lists of advance opinions and unpublished orders. Now they’ve taken away the lists altogether? https://nvcourts.gov/supreme/decisions/unpublished_orders
Can our courts and bar association not handle operating useful, functional websites 24 years into the 21st century?
Edit: Never mind as to the lists; finally got them to display. The rest still stands.
Let’s face it, our judiciary is technologically challenged.
Let me restate: Family Court judiciary is morally challenged.
I think not the judiciary. It is the hacks that are employed to design and deploy the web sites. The coding is at least 10 years behind the times.
You can blame the IT folks all you want, but the buck stops with the owner of the website.
I would agree but it seems like comments here lead to snap fixes there.
Well would you look at that. Hyperlinks are back. Progress!

Dismantle and break up CCSD once and for fkg all.

Since John Bailey wrote the letter to get reinstated, this conditional resignation reads like it was written by Bailey again.
Lawfare at its finest

Lawfare? More like just applying the law.

>If people want to elect those with lot absences that should be ok.
And if people want to amend the heckin’ constitution to require their elected representatives to go to work, shouldn’t that be ok too?
The law applies equally to all parties.
