Why a blog about WCUSD?
It is pretty simple. I want more people to know what is going on in the West Covina Unified School District. A few weeks ago we had a discussion as a board about televising or webcasting our board meetings. For along time I was concerned about the cost of televising our meeting, but with the new technologies available. A majority of the board decided that we shouldn’t make the board meetings more available, including board members that claimed during their elections that they were for televising meetings.
I have to think they have some reason not to let the public see the whole story. There simply is no excuse for not making information more available. Last year the board agreed with my suggestion to put our audio recordings of meeting on the web. Unfortunately, hearing a meeting several months or weeks after it happens is not as good as seeing it first hand.
This is my attempt to let voters know what is going on. Everything is of course my opinion only. If you have questions please email them to me and I will answer them.
