In San Francisco, Virus is Contained but Schools Are Still Closed

[David Lockmiller]

(04-04-2021 01:51 PM)David Lockmiller Wrote:  WHEREAS: The Board is deeply grateful for the work of the Panel, but wishes to avoid
the distraction and wasteful expenditure of public funds in frivolous litigation.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the Board rescinds Resolution 211-12A1
adopted on January 26, 2021; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the Board shall revisit the matter of renaming
SFUSD schools, including reauthorizing the Panel, or similar Advisory Committee, consistent
with its Rules and Procedures, only after all students have returned to in-person learning for 5
full days each week.

I was given “60 seconds” to express my opposition against the Resolution to rename Abraham Lincoln High School and all 44 schools recommended by the Advisory Committee at the January 26, 2021 public Zoom meeting.

Would 3 minutes the next time be satisfactory, in the eyes of the court, to satisfy the provisions of the Brown Act if there is a later lawsuit?

Do not declare victory, yet.

Ironically, it is the taxpayers of San Francisco who must pay for the defense of the San Francisco Board of Education actions. The Abraham Lincoln High School Alumni Association and many other enlisted plaintiffs are the ones who must pay the legal fees for the concerned plaintiffs (unless attorney Paul Scott works pro bono).

Welcome to the world of the judiciary.
