THE ACCELERATED SCHOOL
MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
June 29, 2010
Main Office Conference Room
4000 S. Main Street, Los Angeles 90037...
Introduction of New Trustee – Tonya Stockton
Interim CEO Report [presented by] Johnathan Williams
CLOSED SESSION
Conference with Labor Negotiator – Collective Bargaining
Agency Designated Representatives: Donna Williamson and
Lauren
Liebes, Liebert Cassidy Whitmore
Employee Organization(s): UTLA, SEIU
When CVESD trustee Patrick Judd retired as superintendent of Mountain
Empire Unified School District (after several months on leave, without ever
saying why he was on leave except that it was not sick leave), he looked
for a job for quite a while. School districts all over the state did searches
for him for a long time. I know this because I saw the visits to my site on
my web logs. I imagine they did this because he applied for jobs.
Apparently he couldn’t find a job, so his pal Lowell Billings got him a job at
the Accelerated School, where Billings is a board member.
See blog posts about Patrick Judd.
