I love my job as an educator in @fresnounified but our “leadership” downtown has never been so out of touch with site administration/educators. Exhibit A below. A district goal that’s as disconnected as a one question staff survey sent by a private vendor. @EdSource @KMJNOW

YES! Our good site principals are the ones we need promoted into Sup roles. Teachers and principals generally work well together but our central admin folks are way out of touch.
West Contra Costa has hired a former student and principal as superintendent. The board hopes Cheryl Cotton will bring local expertise, statewide connections and much-needed stability to the district. edsource.org/2025/west-contr…

In our FTA member mtg we shared out evidence of @fresnounified literally creating over 20 fabricated quotes to support their ongoing false claims about us. It appears they used chat gpt. Dirty politics from our public $. @GVWire @EdSource @WeAreCTA

We have a system problem in @fresnounified. Our district leadership has become so defensive to outside criticism they circled the wagons around indefensible behavior. Where is the board code of conduct?

How do you do the "thing" without doing the "thing"? Ask @fresnounified we are literally waste deep in bureaucracy & talk the talk but then outsource all the work as we establish new rules about the work. But hey cults are cool now! More info coming.

In @fresnounified and across the U.S., student attendance has dropped since COVID. You can't deduct grade points for attendance alone—but you can if it's part of a participation grade. Next year in my classroom being tardy or absent will negatively effect grade. Enough is Enough

Who is actually in charge of FUSD? Sounds like maybe it is the consultant they hired. @KMJNOW

I miss journalism! This reads like gossip. There is zero supporting evidence & no named source.

Has anyone heard of the 10 million American March on Wash DC to protest the takeover of our democracy and alignment with enemies? Maybe it exists only in my head. I will keep looking out for it.

Trump has chosen grifters to lead the FBI. Kash Patel sells "K$SH" branded merch, vaccine reversal pills. Dan Bongino's entire show is telling listeners the world is ending so they buy the dozens of survivalist products he sells. I know this feels like a bad dream. It isn't.

Pres. Trump signed 73 executive orders during his first month back in office, White House press sec. Leavitt said. "That is more than double the number signed by Joe Biden and more than quadruple the number signed by Barack Obama over the same period." abcnews.link/rpNWHPm

Trump has officially severed all ties from Ronald Reagan’s foreign policy philosophy with his decision to traffic in Russian disinformation. Imagine if Reagan had apologized to Gorbachev for making the Soviets erect the Berlin Wall. For Americans of a certain age, it’s so odd for an American president to display such fear of Russian leader.

Yes @fresnounified is cutting class time and cutting pay for 40% of our educators. Talks are ongoing to mitigate the sudden loss of time and income for so many folks. Well done @LashericaT!

In Fresno Unified the “leaders” are looking for leaders to lead them in their leading. @KMJNOW

Are we living in a Marvel movie? The world's richest man buys top social media opinion/personality app so he can spread disinformation without being called on it. Can't everyone see how dangerous this getting?
What is happening in Britain!?

Yes it is better to have our elected leaders come from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities. But this is an area where it is clear the Dem Party has pushed to hard. As a white male I have at times been made to feel less welcome & the gig is up...voters don't care (thats good/bad).
The newest Avengers have assembled in the United States Senate. I will always love how our party looks like America.
