First, thank you to Jim Hansen for stepping out of retirement and back into PUSD -your commitment to the kids and the community is greatly appreciated, respected, and is yet another example of the positive person you are.

Second, Ms. Laursen -why did you vote 'No'? I'm really trying to understand the statement you are making and why you, through your vote, felt it necessary to insult someone who is sacrificing for the sake of the community. Please feel free to provide some background on this forum regarding your though process because on the surface it comes across as petty and a continuation of what we've seen over the last few years.

Harvest Park was never the same after Jim Hansen left. Am thrilled he is back at PUSD as the interim superintendent. Hopefully he can bring some semblance of order back to the school site locations so that the District can focus on students, not the whims, battles, grievances and scorched earth power plays of the teacher union.

I also happen to agree with Joe from Ruby Hill. A 'no' vote from Laursen seems to me petty and vindictive and designed to embarrass Jim Hansen, particularly since he is already in the role. The Laursen 'no' vote seems more of the same, i.e., a continuation of public embarrassment of Principals that has been the downfall of the PUSD in the last two years.

This is all great news...

When can the gas-bag Prince... at Valley View be replaced ?

Maybe the only person that "does not possess the qualifications for this job." is Laursen. Let's remember her statement if she decides to run again for ANYTHING.

I hear the Varnish decision has been made and he lost outright.

Where did you hear that George?

No decision has been released on PUSD v Vranesh. The special school board meeting set for tonight may or may not be cancelled.

We will keep you updated.

the decision was issued Call OAH if you want. He lost.

George, I've been in touch with OAH, both attorneys, the district staff and board members. If you have documents, I would appreciate your sharing them with us.

I just called the OAH, they said a decisions was made yesterday and released to the lawyers involved. The decision wont be made public for 30 plus 5 days. So it would seem George must be getting the info from the district's lawyers IF (and that's a big if) George is telling the truth. If George is telling the truth it's very interesting that the district's lawyers is releasing info through the blogs when Parvin's parting words were how much she hated the blogs??

According to the OAH, a judge issued a decision in PUSD v Vranesh yesterday but the "parties involved have not been notified" as of noon today. This was confirmed by one of the attorneys.

We might have the documents tomorrow.

We will keep you updated as we get information.

Thanks Gina I appreciate the Weekly's diligence in this matter.

Perhaps the woman on the phone misspoke when she told me the lawyers had already been notified or maybe I misheard hadn't for have. I sure hope George didn't get insider info before lawyers were notified, that would be a huge breach of trust.
