John H. Pruitt Jr., Chino Valley Unified School District board candidate
I am John H. Pruitt, Jr. seeking the office of Chino Valley school board. My former school board term set the benchmark for strategic successes where API scores dramatically increased and 40% of district schools surpassed the State's 800/900 API;<WC> <WC1>a 2.0 GPA graduation requirement produced over 2<WC>,<WC1>400 graduates meeting the requirement; and accountability improved in district operations as well as employee performance.
Other successes are the Longevity Clause that repositioned 700 plus teachers to well-deserved income levels. A former superintendent was dismissed with a zero salary pay-out. ACT and CSEA employees' jobs remained secure by my opposition to personal/political vendettas.
I am an advocate for teaching fundamentals to meet academic rigor which is directly linked to student achievement. I will always support district/employee recognition and parental involvement.
Despite wayward opposition, attempts to discredit my character and efforts to cover-up wrongdoing, I exposed corruption and criminal activity in the Chino Valley school district.
The current school board has not performed responsibly:
·1 The Board ignored Fair Political Practice Commission regulation 18702.3 subsection A and gave away $50,000 for the defense of board member Bobby Grizzle on criminal charges by the District Attorney. The Board failed to act as prudent trustees; and was negligent for not following government regulations, possibly an illegality.
·2 The Board gave the superintendent a raise when 36% of district schools did not meet API (Academic Performance Index) targets, but maintains the superintendent was evaluated on performance. What performance criterion is more important than student achievement? The Board failed to hold the superintendent accountable.
·3 The superintendent gave notice to school administrators for not meeting API targets. The Board failed to hold the superintendent to a performance standard compatible to school administrators on notice.
·4 The Board waived a third year algebra course when 7% of the student senior population had not (yet) met course requirements, and failed to uphold academic rigor for 93% of the seniors meeting course requirements.
·5 The Board failed to address why 12 of 20 experienced and highly specialized speech and language pathologists reluctantly resigned.
·6 The Board failed to oversee the opening of the Preserve school due to poor planning and poor judgment.
·7 The Board failed to approve a policy regarding yearbooks and graduation accessories without the perception of bribery and kickbacks.
Vote John Pruitt on November 4 to restore the critical focus for board accountability!
