Results of the Propositions at a Glance

producer@radioelkgrove.com (Denny Gomez) — Wed, 7 Nov 2012 12:08:00 -0800

This edited report has the latest published results. It is "Semi-Official", and doesn't take into account final talleys, as in the "Too close to call" Congressional race between Bera and Lungren. The page is located at http://www.eresults.saccounty.net/.

The original header is included, though the results are edited to what makes sense in Elk Grove.

Did the School Board Get It Wrong?

producer@radioelkgrove.com (Denny Gomez) — Mon, 5 Nov 2012 17:55:00 -0800

It's a unique situation. This election we have two candidates running that previously went before the our School Board in an appointment process: Jake Rambo and Steve Ly.

The decision was unanimous.

Now we are asked to make the same decision that our board voted on last March. Either the board got it right the first time, or they were unanimously dead wrong. Which was it?

Today you can listen to every word spoken by those two candidates Steve Ly and Jake Rambo at that hearing:. You can also hear every word spoken about them by the school board, and see every page submitted in their applications. (Public records. See Below)

This doesn't just speak to this election, but to how our board makes decisions. The current campaign could be seen as a vote of “confidence/no confidence” in how our board does business.

It's a hard look at how the school board appointed a board member. Good or Bad, YOU decide. “Did they get it wrong?”

Let's look into it together.

The Wild Card Race: School Board Area 1

producer@radioelkgrove.com (Denny Gomez) — Mon, 5 Nov 2012 14:19:00 -0800

Voters have little to go on in the Area 1 School Board Race. But our kids education is at stake

In this edition: Three Candidates vie for the Area 1 seat on the School District Board of Trustees. Each presents a very different choice for Elk Grove Unified and the future of our children's education. Today we have two interviews with prospective leaders of our School Board.

Meet the Candidates – Susan Parvis and James Latoa, on today's RadioElkGrove. Let's look into it together.

Al Rowlett – No Slogans, No Sound Bites

producer@radioelkgrove.com (Denny Gomez) — Sun, 4 Nov 2012 18:08:00 -0800

No quick answers, no flashy comments, just serious talk from a School Board trustee.

In this edition: Al Rowlett doesn't know how to give a short answer – or a boring one. He tells us in detail, where the district has gone right, AND wrong. In a unique, open conversation he shows us just who Al Rowlett is, and why we should vote to reelect him.

Meet the Candidate – Al Rowlett, on today's RadioElkGrove. Let's look into it together.

When you ask Al Rowlett a question, you get the whole answer. He'll site details, history, background from around the state, all in a calm and open manner. You should hope for that kind of knowledge from a man that has been committed to Elk Grove Education for over a quarter century.

But the depth and knowledge of his responses doesn't hide Rowlett's underlying passion for the kids of our district.

Carmine Forcina - Running as an Outsider

producer@radioelkgrove.com (Denny Gomez) — Sat, 3 Nov 2012 20:46:00 -0700

He wants sweeping change to the School Board. Does Elk Grove Unified need that kind of leadership?

Carmine Forcina wants to see big changes in the way our school district does business. From funding, leadership, communication, even where they sit, Forcina has little positive to say about the school board. Is this the change we need?

Meet the Candidate – Carmine Forcina, on today's RadioElkGrove. Let's look into it together.

Should a "Regular Mom" be on our School Board?

producer@radioelkgrove.com (Denny Gomez) — Sat, 3 Nov 2012 17:42:00 -0700

Is a regular mom the best qualified be on the school board? We talk to Theresa Beals, and hear where she stands on the business of education.

In this edition: Theresa Beals is running for school board against experienced educators and administrators. But not all of our board now come from professional backgrounds. Is Beals the type of person that should be on our board? We talk to her in an in-depth interview.

The Elk Grove Unified School District Board of Trustees is becoming more and more populated by highly trained, skilled administrators with long standing ties to the district. Members of Financial Advisory council, education professionals. But our longest serving members were more homespun.

Though well educated, Theresa Beals is just that: a mom, who wants to make a difference. She is running against Carmine Forcina and incumbent Al Rowlett for the Area 7 seat.

As our interview progressed, we found Beals to have a unique perspective. Her three children run the gamut of needs within the educational system, from a special needs child to GATE, or gifted and talented.

We got a chance to talk about her views on the district, and her reasons for running.

[Listen to Beals Interview]

Our thanks to Theresa Beals, candidate for EGSD's Board of Trustees Area 7. We also have interviews of her opponents, Al Rowlett and Carmine Forcina.

This is RadioElkGrove.

Jake Rambo Answers Tough Questions

producer@radioelkgrove.com (Denny Gomez) — Sat, 3 Nov 2012 13:14:00 -0700

Is the School Board a rubber stamp? How can we fix labor problems? We ask Jake Rambo.

In this Edition:

Trustee Jake Rambo was appointed by the sitting School Board, yet many of his endorsers call him the independent voice for the board. Up for public election next week, we interview Mr. Rambo in-depth. We ask many of the tough questions that have been bothering voters, and put him to the test.

Jake Rambo is an administrative law judge for the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, and was appointed last March to fill the seat of mid-term retiree from the EGUSD Board of Trustees Priscilla Cox. Now, just 8 months later, Rambo seeks approval of the voters for the decision handed down by the School Board at his appointment proceeding. Interesting is the fact that his lone opponent was one of the appointment candidates at that time, Steve Ly, who we interviewed in a live program in September. (Click Here)

We met with Mr. Rambo at his Mock Trial classroom at Elk Grove High, where for many years he has trained young people for Regional, State, and National law competitions. Rambo pointed with pride to the many awards his teams have won, and the high percentage of his former students that have entered highly competitive fields – not just law, but medicine, engineering, and others.

We asked Mr. Rambo what moved him to apply for the board appointment last March that has led to this election bid.

Steve Ly Live Call-in Program (Archive)

This week's Guest: Steve Ly candidate for EGUSD School Board Trustee Area 6.

Steve Ly speaks to supporters at his recent campaign kick-off.

The Area 6 seat is presently held by Jacob Rambo who Ly is challenging for the seat.

Ly is a local educator, working with foster youth with the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE). He also worked promoting anti-bullying with SCOE, and as a substitute teacher for one year in the Elk Grove District.

Ly previously ran unsuccessfully for the school board in 2002 and he applied for the Area 6 seat last spring after Trustee Pam Irey resigned due to health issues. Rambo was appointed by the board at that time.
Ly publicly criticized the Board of Trustees in a quote by the Elk Grove Citizen at his campaign kickoff event last week, apparently referring to the labor issues that have plagued the district recently.

“You have the fighting that’s going on, and at the same time the ones who should be at the helm have forgotten that the bottom line here is we have to provide for our students,” he said.

We'll talk to Candidate Ly, and ask him his views on where the district is now, and what he see's for the future.

This is a live, interview/call-in format. You can ask YOUR questions, by phone or internet chat.
Join us for lunch on Friday for the first in what is planned as an ongoing feature on RadioElkGrove..
