All the surrounding districts seem to make it work starting at 8:30 and even 9:00. I hear teachers, parents, and students complain about it a lot, but I never hear of any changes proposed. My kids are always tired and complain about going to bed when it is still light outside. Does anyone else feel this way? What can we do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-10024692637961910002008-09-20T20:49:00.000-07:002008-09-20T20:49:00.000-07:00The Menifee District has faced many challenges ove...The Menifee District has faced many challenges over the past year; many related to the substantial state budget cuts. Mr. Giardinelli has always been well-informed on the issues and is actively engaged in crafting solutions. It appears that the next year will present more unprecedented challenges that will affect the future of our district, schools, and students. When our kids practice hard to present a band or choir concert, Mr. Gardinelli and his wife can be seen quietly joining the parents in the audience. Some people are more talk than substance, but he is the "real deal".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17695214296478574641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-42311479837264745432008-09-19T21:12:00.000-07:002008-09-19T21:12:00.000-07:00I am most certainly interested in the reduction of...I am most certainly interested in the reduction of class sizes of 4th and above.

In February when the massive budget cuts were proposed, Mr. Giardinelli was out at many of the school sites talking to teachers and parents of all grades. He visits school sites during the day as well as attending many school functions in the evenings. He is very involved with parents, teachers and students and understands it is his responsibility to do what is best for the students. He is a wonderful advocate for improving our schools and our district. He also has my vote.<BR/><BR/>Robert J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-42498987727690476102008-09-17T07:34:00.000-07:002008-09-17T07:34:00.000-07:00When the school district was preparing to change t...When the school district was preparing to change the boundaries to accommodate the two new elementary schools I was in disagreement with the manner in which Mr. Wood and the district went about notifying the parents, especially those at Ridgemoor. Mr. Giardinelli contacted me and invited me to meet with him to discuss my issues face to face over coffee. This showed me how much Mr. Giardinelli actually cared about the students and parents of this district. From that point on I have gained so much respect for him and know how valuable he is to our school district.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your service Victor, you have my vote!<BR/><BR/>Jason RothAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
