Sorry for looonnng delay
Hi readers -
I'm back to blogging again. I was pulled away from the schools beat to cover some gang violence in a neighboring city.
As I'm writing this, I'm only into hour 3 of my work day. It's election night and I'm writing a story on a few local measures - Measure D in Pasadena and Measure A in San Gabriel Unified.
UPDATE: It's 12:21 a.m. I'm a little tired but the 20 cups of coffee I've had so far are keeping me in good spirits.
With 75 percent of precincts reporting, Measure A has 70 percent of the vote. Translation: voters ponied up to paying the $48 per $100,000 of assessed home value. If the district does its job, then the school will get some technology upgrades they apparently need.
Measure D is winning...so far with 58 percent of the vote. My colleague Todd Ruiz, who covers the city of Pasadena for the paper, made a pit stop at the office about two hours ago to check on yours truly and see how the utility tax was doing.
He went home. I'm still here. Isn't life grand?
OK - no more rambling. Tomorrow (actually, later today) I'll have a few entries on the Muir Reinvention process. Highlights include some tart comments from Muir teachers to Edwin Diaz, PUSD superintendent, regarding the reapplication guidelines.
GOOD NIGHT!! POST SOME COMMENTS!
Since you are the schools reporter, perhaps you could tell me the answer to a question I posed on the Hacienda Heights blog a few weeks ago.
After a story ran about the appointment of a new Superintendent of the La Puente Valley ROP, I simply asked: What happened to the former Superintendent?
After not getting a response on the blog from the reporter, I checked the SGV Tribune archives going back 1 year, and found nothing about it.
So, my curiosity remains about her departure.
Can't wait for more!
