Is it supposed to be a damning portrait of an overcompensated CEO? The tone indicates that’s what the authors were going for but then couldn’t really make the case so it became a list of random facts thrown together into a story without a point.

]]> Comment on Awaiting a charter appeal, AIMS community finishes school year, uncertain of the future by Carl Emura http://oaklandnorth.net/2013/05/08/awaiting-a-charter-appeal-aims-community-finishes-school-year-uncertain-of-the-future/comment-page-1/#comment-664190 Carl Emura Fri, 24 May 2013 19:25:23 +0000 http://oaklandnorth.net/?p=96339#comment-664190 It is truly sad for the students and teachers. Unfortunately, if you dig a little deeper, and you look into AIMS board member Nedir Bey background, and the mismanagement of public funds, one would question why you would replace the previous board members with someone with Mr. Bey background. I myself was very surprised and signed a petition asking him to resign for the benefit of the school. He refused and those teachers and administrators who tried to instigate reforms were terminated. Unfortunately the only way to get rid of the board is to close down the school and start over. My son tells me some former and current staff are trying to do so but need to find a place for another charter school.

Leadership is on the right track by asking employees about their views, however, a true climate of trust is needed first in order to receive candid feedback. That’s why a professional organization development outsider can be invaluable as a neutral resource to negotiate a settlement. I’m happy to discuss the issues.

Let’s be a little less dramatic, ok?!

]]> Comment on Library renovation spells more space, resources by Larry Benson http://oaklandnorth.net/2013/05/23/library-renovation-spells-more-space-for-free-resources/comment-page-1/#comment-662940 Larry Benson Thu, 23 May 2013 19:38:06 +0000 http://oaklandnorth.net/?p=96706#comment-662940 One thing that Ms. Ewart fails to mention is that the funding for the Golden Gate (and all Oakland branch libraries) is tied directly to usage, so the historical Carnegie Library known as the Golden Gate Branch will suffer if patrons migrate to the South Berkley Branch.

Also the Golden Gate Branch is open ALL Tuesdays until 8:00 p.m. Its true that it is closed on Sundays and Mondays, and it is open until 5 P.M. all other days.

Lastly the Golden Gate Branch Library has 13 computer stations for patrons to use and the “new” South Berkeley Branch has 5.

For more info on the branch you can use this link.
