These are the things we democrats need to do and then shout loudly from the rooftops that we are doing them.

You will see exactly whey the Democrats are so feckless by what I predict will happen on Monday: the 'equity' ideologues will say increasing the costs is inequitable, so we need to shut the whole program down.

This reminds me of a discussion the board had a couple of years ago on Right at School aftercare vs the D65 in house service. If I remember correctly they were upset that more families were sending their kids to Right at School rather than the D65 option.

Joey--without any evidence--said something like, "I bet if you go into the D65 after care that it is all 'black and brown' kids while Right at School is all white."

At our elementary school this was utterly ridiculous. Both were fully integrated and the reason more families were choosing Right at School was that it was more flexible. You can send your kid one day, five days, one day a month, it doesn't matter. The D65 option required you commit to either 3 or 5 days for the whole term with zero flexibility.

So people who have erratic work schedules by far perferred the Right at School flexibility.

Joey and his 'equity' cronies didn't have a clue about this because their narrow ideology makes it impossible to understand the circumstances of many in the district.

I sent my kid to Right at School and didn't even know there was a D65 option!
