Hold Everything Until Pam Hears From the Close the Gap People

I’m sure I must live in the wrong zip code because I’ve written the PPS school board several times and only received one response from a board member.  Hint: it wasn’t Pam. 

But when a Grant parent writes the board they receive this:

Thanks —-.  I was wondering where the Grant community was.  There are potential big cuts to Grant, which could be even greater if the high schools in the Academic Priority zones are held harmless.  I am not hearing from Grant people.  I do not know if they are contacting others.  It would have been good to hear from them in public at the meeting.   I am not sure if there will be another public meeting on the budget.  

Pam

Dear Pam,

Please don’t worry about how the Academic Priority Zones might impact the Close the Gap, Not the Schools people.  It is of the utmost importance to the group that you do whatever is necessary to close the gap. 

Love,

A former Grant parent

This is truly disgusting. Pam is VERY close to pitting the Academic Priority Zones against one of the wealthiest neighborhood schools. Equity? Nah.
I wish Scott Bailey had won the Zone 5 seat…

My Grant Google membership has been revoked. Damn, I’m not going to get invited to the Christmas party.

Is there any possibility that Pam made a similar outreach to the Madison community? If so, then she could be credited for looking after the high schools in her zone. (That’s more than Trudy did.)
