Another of our ANTI public education friends falsely asserted without any substantiation that VUSD is worst district in the state for dropouts and sanctioned schools. Her allegations are so silly. VUSD dropout rates are very similar to surrounding districts and is not even close to the dropout rates in some of our state's more economically deprived areas like Oakland and Compton but truth or even the appearance of truth is not important to our ANTI friends only their angry accusations. Below is my response to Roxy. I really should have looked up drop out rates in California school data base. I will do that later and update this post but I am tired now, so I will just paste my response in the North County Times blogs.

Roxy, has made another of her famous unsubstantiated allegations at 12:07 pm April 16.
Just as her silly charge of a few days ago that state funding for running school districts including VUSD had not changed, this new charge is equally false.
Roxy wrote: "Well, VUSD is the school district who has the most sanctioned schools and the highest dropout rate in the STATE."GOT THAT!!!!!"
Read all of Roxy's wild comments here:

If VUSD did have either the most sanctioned schools or the highest drop out rate, she could provide documentation, but of course, she cannot. One has to wonder why she posts such wild allegations. All I can figure is that it seems she gets great satisfaction in making up angry allegations. Perhaps "righteous" anger makes her feel better so she creates stories in her mind that allow her to feel angry. Who knows?
Roxy knows that the state of California named Vista Unified a model for others districts in the state for drop out prevention. I hardly think the state would give that award to a district with "the highest dropout rate in the STATE."
For the article about VUSD being named one of only ten model districts in the state for drop out prevention, read: http://www.nctimes.com/news/local/vista/article_b594a65d-1eac-5507-b0ef-792408e088e9.html
Title, date and first sentence from the above article:
"VUSD named model district for dropout prevention"

VISTA - A state panel recently named Vista Unified one of 10 school districts across the state that will be considered a model for keeping kids in school."
Gee Roxy, facts are so difficult for your hateful viewpoint, aren't they?
