thin veneer of high test scores and exposes the real
reform issues in CUSD

"The
more time I spend in CUSD, the more I realize the
topography of its network of campuses is not so
out of line with what's going on at district
headquarters. The place where schools are so
different (and some would say, inequitably so)
from one another that you'd think you were in two
separate districts is also the place where
administrators are indicted
(ex-superintendent
James Fleming and
ex-assistant superintendent
Susan McGill), the
Brown Act is violated, test scores are sky-high,
board members are recalled and students sue their
teachers-a factual landscape that is too good to be
duplicated in fiction."
