I attended #WESELPA's Propaganda Fest at @CentralSD this past Thursday entitled: "Building Positive Relationships with Your School Community" - a training for parents led by Program Manager Anthony Farenga. It's was very troubling and just another way that the schools
think they own our children. I saw this in their core beliefs where Core Belief #1 was "teachers and parents have dreams for their students". I'm sorry but no teacher gets to dream about my child. They have no claim to their life and future. They need to focus on teaching them to
read, write and do math. Another Core Belief was "Families and Staff are equal partners". I at least wish this were true in the IEP meeting as it's supposed to be but it's not. School Admin bully parents and refuse to provide services that will actually benefit students with
A HUGE win for special education family and an embarrassing loss for #WESELPA attorneys from @F3Law -- A Federal Judge just smacked down attempts by the law firms of Fagen, Friedman and Fulfrost to sanction an attorney who represents a family of a student with disabilities in
@AltaLomaSD. @F3Law continues to employ the sanctions tactic unsuccessfully, despite a unanimous decision by the #WESELPA Superintendent’s Council not to pursue a sanctions policy in the WESELPA.

Selpas need their own audit, independent auditor says-- See SEALs email to #WESELPA Administrator @RickyAlyassi.

Dear Ricky,
Hope you had a nice holiday season. I wanted to let you know that this past Monday, the San Bernardino County Board of Education heard a report from an
independent auditor. During the presentation, I asked the auditor regarding the SELPA's responsibility to perform an audit. I asked the auditor if the audit presented to the County Board encompassed all of the programs of the SELPAs since SELPAs have their own board. The auditor
specifically stated that the audit to the County Board did not cover all of the SELPA programs and that SELPAs are responsible to perform their own audits. I also confirmed that any program receiving over $750,000 per year in federal awards, is required to conduct an audit.
Thank you to all who have made comments in support of children with disabilities in the #WESELPA. I urge you to continue our advocacy tomorrow. You do not need to be in WESELPA to comment. Your support is important as some of the decisions made at WESELPA may eventually spill
over to other areas.

Dear @AltaLomaSD Board and members of the public,
I would like to take the
opportunity to thank @ALSD_Super_Jim for his leadership in challenging a proposal by the West End SELPA to create a fund that would be used to collect sanctions against parents. This was a very encouraging gesture to parents in the community to show that perhaps there will be
There are many concerns about #WESELPA (@UplandUnifiedSD, @AltaLomaSD, @CJUHSD and 6 other districts). Each of these Districts pay into the #WESELPA to support their special education students.

“Some arithmetic: It captures the prevailing attitude that the #WESELPA reimburses 100% to litigate against kids, while only reimbursing 30% to actually do something

for a kid. Ricky [#SELPA Administrator], and the rest of you, so long as the #SELPA makes its priorities that clear with its checkbook, any talk about wanting to work with parents or to do anything for kids is idle chatter. I have two outstanding cases with you all.?
Mary Kate Perez [of @CentralSD] is litigating a #Section504 due process case, and will shortly be getting an #IDEA filing at #OAH too, because she doesn't want to spend a few thousand dollars to help a kid who has crippling problems with reading due to his visual processing
$1.75 M of your taxpayer dollars to sue your kids-- The West End Special Education Local Plan Area (#WESELPA) which is by their own definition a "function of" the @SBCSS (San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools) is paying out law firms to litigate against children with
disabilities to deny them needed special education services. #WESELPA operates like a shadow agency, only one elected official on the board (@SBCo_Supt_Ted Alejandre), he is a non-voting member. WESELPA member districts are @UplandUnifiedSD , @CJUHSD, Cucamonga School District,
@CentralSD, @EtiwandaSD , Mt. Baldy, Mountain View, @AltaLomaSD, @CVUSDNews, SB County. Write to your school board members and elect new ones to stop this #injustice. @CSBA_Now
