    logo_sedonaoakcreekschoolSedona AZ (December 3, 2015) – The Sedona Oak Creek Unified School District (SOCUSD) Board of Governors voted unanimously to give Superintendent David Lykins the go-ahead to research the beginning of a plan to restructure the district’s educational delivery model and provide a cost analysis and timeline.

    Lykins will present the information at the board meeting in January when next steps in the potential district reorganization will be discussed.

    “Our goal is to maintain the diverse high quality educational programs in the district while creating cost efficiencies and savings to address declining enrollment,” Lykins said.  “We will explore a range of strategies and tactics that have been implemented in other districts in and outside of Arizona to identify the most appropriate design that will be in the best interests of the students we serve. This is our starting point and we will assess it from every aspect of the district from administration and transportation to programming and maintenance.”

    ASBA Director of Leadership Karen Loftus, who facilitated the recent community forums and roundtables that engaged a diverse base of community members to identify potential solutions for declining enrollment, led the presentation at the board meeting which was in response to the district’s enrollment decline as well as low legislative funding.

    Lykins said he will begin district-wide meetings with administrators, leadership teams at each of the district’s schools, parent-teacher groups and site councils for input.

    In other action, the Governing Board approved the district’s Proposition 301 performance pay plan.

    The next meeting of the Governing Board is scheduled on January 12 at 4 p.m.

    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
