Fire Sandra Lyons

Fire Sandra Lyons for incompetence.  Ms. Lyons should be fired for her incompetence.  She should reward Mr. Black for his bravery and commitment to the students and community.  She states her frustration with the community as jumping to conclusions, but she jumped to conclusions & expects the community to forgive her continued mismanagement of the district.  Why was this student allowed to attend SAMO after being expelled from LAUSD? Why did this student have a weapon and drugs on campus? Why did he feel so comfortable dealing drugs in class?  Why has Ms. Lyons not addressed any of these issues? She is too busy selling out our schools and our community.  She rents our facilities to the lowest bidders not allowing for sufficient funds to pay for staff and maintenance or safety personnel. She allows students who have a history of breaking the law and being expelled to permit into the district   She shows no regard for student, teacher or community safety.  The school board and Ms. Lyons attribute the lack of community financial support to the Ed foundation & the district to the equal distribution that is upcoming.  NEWS FLASH MS. LYONS, IT IS YOUR MISMANAGEMENT OF THE DISTRICT THAT HAS LED TO THE DECLINE IN SUPPORT. Parents in certain parts of district are concerned about the safety of their students and you have done nothing but allowed delinquents to permit into the district and apply the no tolerance for violent threats or action unequally.  You should be ashamed of your response and your mismanagement and offer your resignation as the appology the residents of Santa Monica deserve.
