WGT EP 79A GCISD In The CRT Cosshairs. Two Grapevine Colleyville ISD parents talk about how the Dr. Whitfield situation sparked awareness about Critical Race Theory embedded throughout their district. GCISD is 70 years old, and it has never had any problems with race. There have been no documented cases of racism, microaggressions, police issues--nothing. Since this toxic CRT ideology has been brought into the district, parents have seen teachers behaving more like activists than teachers. With this increase of activism has come a decline in academic performance district-wide. Both of GCISD's high schools have fallen from the top 100 high schools in Texas to #447 and #433. GCISD's leadership has completely lost its way. The real issue with Dr. Whitfield was Critical Race Theory in GCISD. When a parent called him out for presenting at the district-sponsored training called “Breaking the Barriers,” public outcry was far and wide. Within that training is a warped definition of racism centered on the belief of systemic racism. It also shows an identity wheel featuring the core CRT concept of intersectionality. The training itself was written by a still-employed CHHS Learning Liaison and was about implementing activism—it worked. One Heritage Middle School science teacher talked about her impressions after attending the “Breaking the Barriers” training, saying: “I can't stop thinking about your session,” “I think we have a long way to go,” and “I want to use this momentum!” A later open records request discovered a parent email calling out this teacher for promoting controversial and political agendas in what was supposed to be a science class. White and Whitfield's training radicalized this science teacher to be a pro-CRT activist rather than an educator. A social studies teacher at Grapevine High School sponsored a “Current Issues & Social Activism Club” that actively supported Dr. Whitfield. They discuss CRT in that club on campus. On the club's Instagram feed is a slide deck about CRT and Dr. Whitfield specifically. The last slide is a call to action to students, saying “If the school won't teach you, educate yourself on Critical Race Theory,” and that students can “Attend protests to help.” Another huge supporter of Dr. Whitfield and full-on activist is a Bear Creek Elementary School teacher. She participated in the AVID program at Heritage Middle School. Within that program, the STUDENTS led a Critical Race Theory training for other students. Not surprisingly, that same teacher Tweets Ibram X. Kendi's “Anti Racist Baby.” Last, an elementary lead instructional coach for GCISD Tweets about teaching the 1619 project. He has direct influence on writing the English curriculum for all elementary school kids in the district. Requiring any understanding of the 1619 Project is in direct violation of state law (Senate Bill 3). Despite overwhelming evidence, GCISD's Superintendent directly said that there was no CRT--which is exactly why it needs a change in leadership. It's the only way to protect the kids and save the district. Website: YouTube: “GCISD Parents” Twitter: @GCISDparents Email: gcisdparents@gmail.com

This week is the first full week of Fall, my favorite season.  School sports are in full swing with all of our teams in action; football, boys and girls soccer, volleyball, and cross county at Chino Valley High School and volleyball and cross country at Heritage Middle School.   This week is the Chino Valley High School Homecoming with the theme “Lights, Camera, Action: Homecoming”.  Each day is a different dress up theme and then there is the Top Gun volleyball game on Monday, the Powderpuff football game followed by the Bonfire on Tuesday, and finally the Homecoming Dance on Wednesday.  The Homecoming Royalty will be announced at Friday's football game on Friday October 1st when the Cougars go up against Coronado High School. One of the biggest challenges that we have face this school year is transportation.  We are currently minimally staffed with bus drivers and we recently had some driver absences due to illness along with other unavoidable circumstances.  This has led to the District cancelling our Prescott Valley route with the hope of bringing it back as soon as we can.  The lack of qualified bus drivers is not unique to Chino Valley Schools and is a nationwide concern. If you or someone you know is interested in being a bus driver, please call our transportation department at 928-636-2305 and ask to speak to our transportation director, Kriss Walton.  You do not need to have a commercial driver's license (CDL) to start.  We will pay you as you as we train you to get your CDL and bus certification.  If you are unsure about whether you can drive a bus, call Kriss and she will set you up to get behind the wheel of a bus to try out a test drive.  It is easier than it may seem. One of our most important strategic partners is Yavapai College.  They work closely with the District and Mountain Institute Career and Technical Education District to provide career and technical education programing for Chino Valley High School students.  In addition, YC provides dual enrollment classes with CVHS where students can get both high school and college credit for a variety of classes.   YC is offering a great deal right now.  Anyone can take one YC class for free, no tuition or fees, this semester.  There are over 100 late start classes to choose from that begin on October 11th and end in December.  This is a great way to test out college or brush up on some skills. The district is excited to have been awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by Government Finance Officers Association for fiscal year 2020.  This award is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting and is an indication that the district has clearly communicated its financial story and meets the spirit of full disclosure.  All of the District's financial information can be found on the district website under Departments/Business Office/Financial Transparency. As a special note, the district's next Governing Board meeting is taking place on a special date and at a special location.  For the first time ever, the Governing Board will meet in Paulden at the Paulden Community Center, 24050 N Marblehead Avenue.  The meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 6th at 5:00 p.m. in order to avoid conflicting with the district's fall break which is October 11 – 14. To keep up to date on what is going on in Chino Valley Schools, visit our website at www.chinovalleyschools.com or visit our Facebook page at @CVSchoolsAZ.
