Can highly qualified Asian or Caucasians who are not illegal or born to illegals apply?

If you are pointing fingers, why not the administration that followed Ms. Ferguson (the principal in…Read More 2001) they were there for three years. Why did they allow him to coach, why did they allow him to continue to work at Ralston. I would say tha t they enabled him! Once again, he was an employee, the district does all background checks, not principals. FACT!

I agree Belmont Historian. Belmont Patch Hack seems very angry. The first incident was different…Read More Ralston administration, different Superintendents. How do you know what information is past on. Kollmann wasn't even hired until 2009. what about Ralstons Athletic Directors, should they be held accountable. What qualification do you need to coach volleyball? There are parents, teachers and kids that coach at Ralston that don't have coaching experience......the district is responsible for doing back ground checks, not principals. You (belmontpatchhack) sound like you have a vendetta against Kollmann......get over it. Move on and let's focus on our kids today!

Why doesn't the news media ever print whether or not the custodians doing tihings like this are full…Read More time custodians or custodians from an outsourced cleaning company I have been following these kind of stories for quite some time now and it seems as though every article I read nothing is mentioned weather in the custodian is full time or from an outsourced cleaning company. Yes there is a difference between the two. One is seeking a long term career the other is only seeking a short term paycheck.

I disagree that students should fight the intruder at their school. They should leave it to the…Read More teachers. Though I do respect that they help the student at their school.

I see I have no response. And I'll bet the majority of people would respond "of…Read More course".....
Sorry folks, to the first airport in Oregon ( Medford,35 miles over the Northern border) , and flight time to San Diego (Southern border) from SF are nearly identical. WTH! Congratulations Bay Area...you are in Central California....Teachers need to teach and be allowed to do so.

Like I said, proves my point most definately, and Mrs. Java had a burning comment but couldn't…Read More disclose herself-Patch staff are Trolls and proven. I rest my case! Psst, change is coming, that's fine, that's only cause you mean emails will be matched and confirmed with thd person, you know Mrs. Java, like you did - post a comment, "First Name, email, and password-thank you for joint Patch :) ha ha, so easy. That would be better, but it seems you cant afford it yet! Ohh wait, trouble, if trouble is what you're trying to get us into, can we include you Mrs. Java for your Trollness ... I think you should. Common there's nothing wrong with being fair. Let's keep that in mind for the "change" woooo hooo, little baby cry.

Boy, wish I had a PHD then I wouldn't need common sense. What did they think was going to happen?…Read More This is a bit harsh on my part. We expected more, inclusion, not to be spoken to as a student. I recall my dad who worked as head of grounds for 38 years always getting pissed off when he was treated like a kid. I understand now.
If you take the time to achieve a PHD, you should be heard. It does not mean you can dictate to others and disrespect their input. I have worked with many a PHD which understood that everyone’s input is worthy and the end results are greater.
Both programs can co-exist. Some have expressed that STEM is not what they want for their young children. They have a valid point and their voice needs to be heard. This should be a team effort to service the public and their children’s needs and those needs are not all the same.
Think of the teachers that were important in your life and what worked for you and didn’t work for other kids in the same type of class.
Majority vote by staff should not rule when it comes to our children’s education…….

Parkside is a public school and must serve the public. The Parkside Montessori Program never…Read More received any "extra funding" except for what the parents did to raise extra funds for the program (the equipment is expensive!). I agree that many years ago, when our kids attended the Parkside Montessori Program, the Montessori parents did double duty and supported both the "school-within-the-school," and Parkside School in general, just as the Montessori parents are currently doing.
I'm guessing the thought is that STEM should be available K-8. Bayside Middle School is STEM, and Parkside is a feeder school to Bayside. North Shoreview Montessori also exists and is a terrific place (grandchildren now attend NSM).
I'll be sad to see Montessori leave Parkside and happy that Montessori still exists in the School District. I am not familiar with STEM and how it will play out at Parkside, but administration needs to ensure that the families who participate will continue to support the school as much as the Montessori parents do now, for it to succeed. I will be interested in what happens. The Parkside Montessori Parents Group has always been a vocal and energetic group of folks! mll
