Hi, I'm 16 years old and live with my parents and sister in Ulverston (England).
I've been fighting cancer for over 4 years and now I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn't look like I'm going to win this one :( I'm hoping to write in here as much as I can and I'm also going to show my bucket list which I'm trying to get done before I have to go. Hopefully, I'll update as I tick each one off the list :)

The ruse to Hire Counselors at Lower Pay


November 8, 2011

Fontana Unified School District is the subject of a lawsuit...

The Fontana Unified School District is the subject of a lawsuit filed by the teachers union in the San Bernardino County Superior Court. The suit is demanding that the school district reinstate counselors that the district laid off. The teachers union alleges the counselors should be allowed to return to work on the basis of seniority.
School%20Counselor.jpgThe teachers union claims that the Fontana Unified School District has violated the California Education Code. According to the lawsuit, the district let 68 counselors go after the 2010-2011 school year, then created two new job titles for what was essentially the same position and attempted to hire 42 new counselors.
According to Pat Mazzulli, president of the Fontana Teachers Association, the new counselor positions are “substantially similar” to the old counseling positions. “Rather than follow procedure in the Education Code, the FUSD made reduction in force counselors reapply and interview for their jobs. FUSD attempted to hire outside the district as well," Mazzulli said. According to Mazzulli, the California Education Code requires that the laid-off counselors be given the opportunity to accept or refuse substitute slots before the jobs are offered to new applicants.
The Fontana Unified School District denies any wrongdoing and insists the new counseling positions are entirely different from the old ones. William Wu, assistant superintendent of human resources for the school district, said in an interview that "the district reviewed the comprehensive counseling program, tailored it to the needs of the district and then created new district positions to provide better and different student services…They are not the same as the comprehensive counseling program." Furthermore, said Wu, “The district is not in the business of violating peoples' rights. We are in the business of serving children, but we are not in the business of violating peoples' rights in the process.”
However, the school board has postponed plans to hire applicants for the new positions. According to Mazzulli, no trial date has been set.

An accusation of "Criminal Nepotism" is currently being leveled at Moreno Valley USD TRUSTEES H. “RICK” Sayer and Jesus Holguin

The alleged actions could be a "violation of the public trust." 


Doing so placed the son under the direct supervision of his father and violated the civil rights of every candidate that applied.Given the circumstances if convicted each could be removed from office by the Attorney General.


During the supposed incidenct, HR and the board overlooked more than 12 more qualified, more experienced, women, minorities, and all older candidates. iT WAS LEAKED TO THIS REPORTER that the person placed as principal at Vista Heights Middle School, had the lowest interview scores of any applicant. There is a Four year statute of limitations on those explicitly involved if the allegations stand.

Dozens of Parents Line Up to Dis-Enroll Students After Drug Ring Bust in Moreno Valley High School
The Moreno Valley Unified School District will launch an investigation to determine how a middle school teacher accused of molesting two boys, including a former student, remained on staff despite a similar case a decade earlier, district officials said Thursday. "The issue is that if the district was derelict, we need to know how and why," Supt. Nick Ferguson said. "What we're asking ourselves is how we can fill in the blanks. We are looking to explain this." Thomas Lee West Jr.

A 17-YEAR-OLD, CONNECTICUT GIRL DISAPPEARS A-MIST A RASH OF STRANGERS TRYING TO TALK TO THE HIGH SCHOOLS STUDENTS WALKING HOME


Edit by I, Praetorian

Belair, Conneticut. Three incidents involving unfamiliar vehicles and children were reported to police last week.
After one of those incidents, the school system issued a message to individual schools as a precation. Police say the three incidents are not related and they do not believe anyone is targeting children in the area.
“Through a two-day period last Thursday and Friday, we had three reports of suspicious vehicles in different neighborhoods that do not appear to be connected whatsoever,” said Monica Worrell, a sheriff's office spokeswoman.
On Dec. 8 a man living in the Cool Springs II neighborhood in Bel Air called police after discussing an unknown vehicle with his neighbors, according to Worrell.
The man had heard from neighbors that two unidentified teenage girls were walking home from the bus in the area of Deer Valley Way and Tobacco Run Road when a man in a vehicle, either a white panel van or a beat-up pick-up truck, stopped and addressed the girls, Worrell said.
The neighbor reported the man in the vehicle asked the girls, "do you want to meet my dog?" according to Worrell.
The neighbor was unsure when the incident took place or who was involved, Worrell said.
In response to the incident, Churchville and Prospect Mill elementary schools sent messages to their school communities, according to Teri Kranefeld, a school system spokeswoman.
"On the advice of the authorities involved and erring on the side of caution, both schools chose to notify their entire school communities in order to increase awareness of the situation," Kranefeld wrote in an email.
The incident was the third of its kind reported within two days.
Before 6:57 a.m., on Dec. 9, a 16-year-old girl was walking to her bus stop near Estates Court in Bel Air, when two men in a white van stopped and asked if she needed a ride, according to police.
Around 3:25 p.m., Dec. 8, a man in a red, four-door car called, "Hey" to a boy walking along Schucks Road, according to police.
The boy walked away and the car left the area. The boy's parents reported the incident the following day.
“At this point, the Harford Count Sheriff’s Office does not believe there is an individual or individuals trying to abduct anyone in the communities described," Worrell said. "But, as always, if you have first hand knowledge of something suspicious in your neighborhood, report it."
