This is a charter school. Parents are the voice that leads the direction of the school. We need change, we need the Exec Director to step down and we need to show appreciation to the teachers who really have shown our kids that their success is their business. Unfortunately, Mr. McManus hasn't a clue had to manage staff, curriculum and listening to parents is certainly not his strength.

We can't go back in history and make changes. Instead stick with the by-laws, and enforce that the entire minutes become public according to the by-laws and reporting (as stated in the by-laws) with the Governance Council.

Logistically, that will not happen. On the other hand, the administration (and by extension, the board) can do their part to make the environment closer to what some are calling the "Glory Days" of CHAMPS.

Transparency and equality is how that starts.

Representatives of the school are assigned the position in hopes to meet and understand the needs of the student body. Mr.M in no way is benefiting nor understanding the needs possessed by "his students"
His place is not at champs
Perhaps he would be better at a business school where money savvy and scheming qualities are valued.

As a former teacher, I am appalled at the cavalier attitude and total disregard for the real needs of the students. It is clearly in need of a top down reformation. There is no transparency and communication is laughable. Staff putting fake reviews on GreatSchools where parents are termed "whiners" is reprehensible. We, as parents, must no longer stand by and accept this behaviour. We must start with the board. We must demand that we are heard and respected

This future is best served with an open & vigorous debate with all stakeholders at least heard. The Charter & By-Laws should be re-written to assure they match each other as well as bring into compliance with various regulatory and statutory rules. In addition they should invoke open and transparent operations as permitted by law.

We love the school. But my own experience in seeking information about a recent board meeting raised serious questions in my mind about the board's compliance with the Brown Act. When others voiced similar concerns at Wednesday's governance council meeting, the rejoinder was essentially "You're too aggressive. Work it out in private." I am ignorant of the history behind such a claim. I just want a transparent and systematic process. Elections will advance that.

The life force, now threatened, was family involvement. Champs welcomed and encouraged engagement. Inspired by its democratic and transparent policies, many unsung parental voices gave freely to our growing extended family. In the recent past, Champs has strayed from its core purpose. And alienated many. The time to right this wrong is now. Unite & fight!
