A letter from Action Alameda News publisher David Howard… People got quite indignant when I questioned the motivations of parents in the East-end for resisting elementary school consolidation. Some responses were comical: “Edison School is not ‘almost entirely’ white. It’s 71% white.” Only 71%, you say? In Alameda, the first weapon of choice for political campaigns is the lawn sign. Alameda resident and business owner Marshall Cromer has what might be a bazooka compared to everyone else’s standard-issue rifle. Residents opposed to the City of Alameda’s continued negotiations with SunCal, a.k.a. SCC Alameda Point LLC, are circulating an online petition targeted to Alameda City Council, demanding the Council stop dealing with the firm. by Dennis Green Catholic schools in America have a 90% graduation rate. Public schools, by contrast, graduate only two-thirds of their students, on average. America, which spends more per pupil than any other nation, produces student outcomes in the very bottom ranks of all students worldwide. This crisis in education is finally being addressed, and by some unlikely sources. The Committee Against Measure E told Action Alameda News this morning that they have bought several thousand advertising inserts in today’s Alameda Sun, urging voters to vote no on Measure E. Summer must finally be here – the City of Alameda is set to begin street resurfacing on Buena Vista Avenue from Grand Street to Willow Street. Minutes from the Orange County Superior Court Docket in the case of Gray 1 CPB LLC v. SCC Acquisitions Inc. indicate that jury selection for the trial will begin this Thursday. There’s a hearing on July 6, 2010 on a proposed increase in Alameda sewer service charge. Data released this month by the California Department of Education shows that the “achievement gap” – the difference in test scores results – persists in Alameda schools between African-American, Hispanic, and White students. Dear Editor, The Boatworks project will be discussed again at the next Planning Board meeting on Monday May 24th at 7:00 pm at the Alameda City Hall, 3rd floor. Let them know what you think they should do about Estuary Park. |
