Further LindaMood Bell is NOT on the California Approved List of Intensive Interventions!*
Why are we spending money on this program and not on one of the other fine programs that was good enough to be approved by the state? If LMB does not meet the requirements to be on the approved list, let's get a reading program that is.
LMB is only on the strategic aka "supplemental" list of reading programs. Every program out there is considered strategic/supplemental. There is no lower category.
Why is the district spending money on something that is "less than the best"? Why does Jim Gibson think this program is so good?
Teachers have been told in our district not to be using materials from LMB in their classrooms when the county DAIT comes to evaluate their school. Why?
Is it because LMB is not an Approved Intervention?*
*See confirmation of this point about LMB in testimony by David Brashier, Director, San Diego County of Education who is VUSD DAIT liason given during the VUSD Budget Advisory Committee 2008-2009 Meeting and recorded in the minutes of that meeting found here:
