the school board agenda conveniently did not use the description I sent to superintendent Jaffe as requested prior. This would be because the school board does not want anyone to become aware of the gross misconduct of its special education office, their attorneys, and whomever is authorizing the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars to litigate against CCUSD's own special education students. Who is the proprietor of this blog and how do I reach them? Thank you
(PS for more information on the school district's conduct as to litigating with its special ed students please contact me at amandafcopeland@gmail.com)
