In reviewing the agenda for this evening’s RUSD regularly scheduled meeting, I found it interesting that neither the PDF file of the board packet materials nor any addendums contained any mention of the details of item 11b, the awarding of the Caddy Vista outsourcing project.
As you may recall, RUSD may be reopening Caddy Vista to serve as location for its expanded 4-year-old kindergarten program. This location would also have before and after-school daycare (available for an additional fee). Unified will be outsourcing the operation of this to a private business, so I am interested in any details of this new government-private business relationship.
However, there are numerous pages in the board packet materials addressing how RUSD is doing making “good” global citizens out of our children and ensuring that they are developing a “strong sense of self-worth”. I, for one, am glad that the board and administration have decided to work in an open environment and post their meeting materials online (insert sarcastic tone here).
I missed this meeting , but will talk with friends that did attend and post any information (if necessary) later...

I wonder if a good global citizen is also anti-American. Also, I have heard of a study that shows that American students have great self esteem coupled with lousy math skills, while their Japanese counterparts have lower self esteem but excellent math skills. Is raising the level of self esteem more important than raising the level of academic achievement? Denis Navratil.
