Would You Be Willing To Help Form A Parent Advisory Committee?

Would you be willing to help form a parent advisory committee?  The district has a citizens advisory committee, but they don't really represent the citizens.  They represent the school board, the school district, the chamber of commerce and other organizations in Lee's Summit.  We need something to represent US.

I tried to form a PAC in 2006, but I was naive and trusting.  I met with the Superintendent and Jerry Keimig. Jerry told me that he would have to be in charge of the PAC and he would pick the members.  Wouldn't that be just like the CAC?  How would that help?

So, I am going to give this a go again.  This would be a PAC for parents that want to interact with the district.  We would find the issues that we feel the district needs to address and present them to the district.  We can't do this individually. The district will place sanctions on you so that you can't approach the board or the superintendent.  The district will make statements about your truthfulness, sanity, or whatever else they can think of to slander you and attack your position.  I know of TOO MANY families that this has happened to.

Please consider joining us.  I started the Lee's Summit Autism Support Group in 2006 because of the issues our children faced in this district.  Why not start a group that will cover all of the issues.  The deceit, bullying, destruction of evidence, issues with the OCR that the district is covering up, employees that have bullied students, employees that have denied services and the education that our children are entitled to, etc.  I am ready to start this next chapter.  Will you join me?

Missouri Schools - The Washington Post

Missouri Schools - The Washington Post Some schools brag about their high passing rates on AP or IB, meaning the percentage of test-takers who scored 3, 4 or 5 on the 5-point AP exam or 4, 5, 6 or 7 on the 7-point IB exam. Passing scores make students eligible for credit at many colleges and universities. I decided not to count passing rates in this way because I found that many high schools kept those rates artificially high by allowing only top students to take the courses. AP, IB and AICE are important because they give average students a chance to experience the trauma of heavy college reading lists and long, analytical college examinations. Research has found that even low-performing students who got a 2 on an AP test did significantly better in college than similar students who did not take AP. On the list, we also give readers a sense of how well each school’s students are doing on the tests by posting the Equity and Excellence rate, which is the percentage of all graduating s...

My Letter Requesting To Become A Board Member

Sherri R. Tucker 1200 SE London Way Lee’s Summit, MO   64081 816-554-3017 autism@kc.rr.com Lee’s Summit R-7 School District C/o Linda Ismert, Board Secretary Stansberry Leadership Center 301 NE Tudor Road Lee’s Summit, MO   64086 Ms Ismert I would like to submit my name for the position on the Lee’s Summit R-7 School Board.   As you know, I have expressed an interest in being on the school board in the past.   On my first attempt I only lost by 2% which would indicate that the voters have an interest in me being on the board as well.   I would think that the voters’ wishes would be taken into consideration. I have a strong relationship with many of the districts’ families and I can help to bridge the gap between them and the district.   I understand the commitment to the time and energy required each week for meetings, phone calls, conversations, visits to schools, and professional development seminars and workshops.   I already do that with the f...
